What Does the Trailer Show?
Protagonist Jax, equipped with a jetpack, slices, and dices through alien enemies. When the numbers become troublesome, he uses non-physical attacks to get the job done. The action is fast-paced and has a Mass Effect feel to it. Jax sees the new threat in the sky and immediately goes to each faction to enlist their help. Whether it becomes that easy is not shown, but odds would be against it. After a convincing speech, all factions go to war with the skyborne threat.
