In just over one month, on December 4^th, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden arrives on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. The game developed by The Bearded Ladies and published by Funcom promises a new take on the XCOM tactical combat formula by giving players the power to jump in and out of real-time stealth/exploration and turn-based combat.

Besides the talking duck and the gun-wielding boar which undoubtedly stole the show at the game’s reveal, it’s certainly what has produced the most amount of wow’s and whoa’s during demos at both GamesCom and E3.

Today, Funcom has released a brand-new video taking you behind the scenes on the development of the game, where lead devs from The Bearded Ladies explain just how all this works.

Based on the Swedish pen and paper RPG Mutant, the game puts you in the hooves of Bormin the boar and the webbed feet of Dux the duck as they explore a post-human Earth. The game is developed by a team made up of former HITMAN and PAYDAY lead developers.

Now available for PC pre-order on buy.mutantyearzero.com, the game will be available in a Standard Edition ($34.99) and a Deluxe Edition ($54.99). The Deluxe Edition includes a desktop wallpaper, digital artbook, digital soundtrack, and a digital copy of the Mutant Year Zero pen-and-paper RPG book.

Pre-ordering the Standard Edition will give you a three-day head start at launch while pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition gives you the same head start as well as access to a Beta version of the game before launch. The game will also launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on December 4^th, simultaneously with PC.
