Fuse trailer zaps out, a little late

The big and somewhat overblown reveal that Insomniac's first multiplatform game Overstrike is now renamed Fuse should've been accompanied by a trailer, but a mysterious legal rights issue kept publisher EA from releasing it on schedule. With that resolved, the trailer's now out for your viewing pleasure, with snippets of in-game footage showing off your squad's flashy tech powers.

As our Ozzie explained in his preview, the squad-based shooter formerly known as Overstrike's four team members each have tech powered by the unstable alien substance 'fuse.' It can power a handy shield or, put in a gun, it can crystallise enemies, melt them, and suck them into black holes.

Fuse is due on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in March 2013. Compare this to Overstrike's announcement trailer and you'll see the squad's abilities have changed a fair bit since E3 2011:
