Unknown Worlds has revealed that its upcoming shooter Natural Selection 2 will tote those oh so wonderful vertical movement-enhancing jetpacks when the game (eventually…someday) arrives. On a sort of related note I think it’s safe to say jetpacks are the new zombies.

The devices are used by the Marines faction as a high level upgrade, allowing players to fly for short distances, get into vents and stay off the ground, and away from the snapping jaws of the enemy.

An engine test for the game has been released, but so far no playable build yet much to the chagrin of the thousands of pre-orders which will gain instant access once alpha and beta builds arrive.
