All characters and abilities in Crucible

Amazon Game Studio’s first big-budget PC game has a lot to live up to.

Crucible is a free-to-play action-packed third-person team shooter set on a rampant jungle planet in the future. Each match is a fight for survival and control with your enemies and the environment. Overgrown and teeming with life, the world of Crucible is full of surprises.

Crucible will make its grand debut on May 20 and will be available to download for PC on the Steam store. But if you want to get a step ahead of your opponents before you jump into the game, you should learn about each of the playable characters.
