[edit]Announcement

Hybrid was hinted at for many months, prior to its official announcement. The unnamed XBLA title from 5TH Cell was talked about for nearly a year before any real information was released -- other than that it was going to be "pretty big".[2]
On October 21, 2010, a mysterious 7-day countdown appeared on the official 5TH Cell website website featuring an ashy ground with footprints and a clearly imprinted logo, causing speculation among the gaming community at the seemingly uncharacteristic theme.[3]
At the close of the countdown, on Friday, October 29, 2010 at 1:00am EST/PDT an exclusive debut teaser trailer was shown on GameTrailers, revealing the somewhat shocking fact that the game would be a third-person shooter.[4] At that time, 5TH Cell also launched the official Hybrid website, displaying two dog tags linking to two different hubs of information about the game as relayed by the opposing factions.[5]
[edit]Gameplay

Hybrid will be a multiplayer online third-person shooter set in a post apocalyptic world amidst a war between two factions: the Variant and the Paladin. It is currently speculated that there will be some sort of innovative gameplay, including a form of cover system and parkour abilities.[6]
