Fuse<\/em>\u00a0is a four-person co-op, story-driven, action game that allows even solo players to experience the unique attributes of each agent by using the game’s LEAP feature \u2013 a feature that can be used to switch the player between the four characters at-will during combat. Each covert agent is equipped with unique skills and weapons that are not only necessary for survival, but also help create unexpected and extraordinary results.

Through lethal teamwork, players can complete objectives and kills to earn Fuse points for powerful upgrades. Players can also play online* or offline and level up along unique character paths, allowing players to unlock more powerful Fuse-driven abilities as the game progresses. In addition, the game’s progression system is unified between different play modes, allowing players to continue improving their agents regardless of how they play.<\/p>\n
