Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is a new game from ACE Team, the people behind the original Zeno Clash games.

Artifacts of Chaos will be set in the same world as Zeno Clash, Zenozoik. However, it won't be an FPS title. Instead, it will be a third-person adventure game that sees players guide a warrior named Pseudo to protect a mysterious creature that can heal others.

Despite the shift in perspective, Artifacts of Chaos looks every bit as bizarre and vibrant as the original Zeno Clash games.
