In the showcase, we got to see that players can actually become the Ridden in the PvP mode and that includes slipping into the murky souls of Tallboy, The Stalker and many more.
Each Ridden has its very own abilities so choose wisely on what tactics you like the look of and go from there. Although the Tallboy looks to be badass!
In Swarmmode, two squads of four will face off against each other in a best-of-three series of rounds as teams swap between playing as the Cleaners and the Ridden. Points are then awarded based on how long the Cleaners can stay alive and endure Ridden attacks, with the team that keeps the clock going the longest as Cleaners winning the match.
