first info about Deadzone

Some early details of Mantic new game Deadzone are surfacing from the web:

• the author is Jake Thornton (of Dwarf King's Hold, Pandora and Dreadball fame), since Alessio Aavatore is the author of Warpath I was expecting some sort of involvement in this project too
• it is set in the Warpath universe
• the Plague (the new faction) will be involved
• There will probably be a kickstarter for it
• It is not clear if the game shares some mechanics with warpath on not, it is just in the same universe?
