EA have this weekend confirmed a May 31st European release date (May 28th North America) for Insomniac Games’ upcoming ‘four person co-op action shooter’ FUSE.

FUSE tells the tale of the four elite, covert agents of Overstrike 9 as they battle to protect mankind from a deadly alien energy source known as Fuse. Each character is class based with a unique upgrade tree as well as their own specific Xenotech weaponry, which according to Insomniac Games CEO Ted Price, are pretty cool…

“Insomniac Games is known for delivering best-in-class weaponry that breaks the mold of traditional video games – and Fuse is no different… These Xenotech weapons further the innovation players will find in this unique, action co-op shooter. We can’t wait to bring Fuse, our first multi-platform game, to gamers worldwide this May.”

As is de rigeur for modern games, there’s a whole bunch of pre-order bonuses which will unlock special armour and weapon customisations, including:

• Four Hyperion Prototype Agent Armor Skins—Upgrade your agents’ look with four special, state-of-the-art armor skins discovered inside the top-secret Hyperion Base




• Four Hyperion Prototype Weapon Skins—Customize your Fuse weapons with four skins based on each of the original prototypes developed inside Hyperion Base




• Quickdraw Team Perk—Increase your damage with this team perk adding powerful Fuse elements to all one-handed weapons for all four characters in your squad
  

If multi-player isn’t your thing the game is also set up for solo play. Using the game’s LEAP feature players can seamlessly switch between the characters at will during the game. As for who you’ll be playing, meet the team…
