Due Process (video game)

Due Process is an online multiplayer tactical first-person shooter video game developed by American studio Giant Enemy Crab, and published by Annapurna Interactive[1] released into Beta on August 20, 2020 and early access on November 4, 2020.[2] The game's core revolves around teamwork and communication,[3] allowing players to draw a "playbook" during the planning phase onto the hand-curated, procedurally generated maps. The visuals are inspired by 90's arcade light gun games, such as Time Crisis, and it is set in a cyberpunk dystopia.[4]

Gameplay

Matches are multiplayer, composed of a team of five players on defense versus a team of five players on offense. Every match begins with a planning phase where players may discuss strategy, gear up, and draw a "playbook" on the map. After planning, the combat begins.[8] Maps are procedurally generated and then hand-curated resulting in a very interesting and new type of game.[1]

Procedurally Generated Maps

Maps are procedurally generated, allowing the developers to add a large number of maps quickly via smaller updates.[1] With the increased ease of maps updates, player familiarity which each specific map type is decreased, requiring players to focus on map strategy during the tactical window prior to deployment, heightening the necessity for pre-match teamwork.[3]

Due Process League

Due Process League (or DPL) is the primary form of competitive e-sports in the game. Due Process League contains 50+ registered teams and 300+ registered players which is organized in the DPL Discord. Due Process League teams compete against one another, commonly streamed on Twitch, with the VOD uploaded to YouTube.[9]
