To increase the fan base game developers are trying new concepts. One of  the best and oldest concept is fusing two game genres. Best example is fusing and FPS (First person shooter) with Real time strategy. This is a unique work because FPS and RTS are two of the best genres of gaming also they are two different end points of the gaming line. Raven Squad: Operation Hidden Dagger is an upcoming game of this fused genre. The game is under the development of Atomic Motion, an independent Hungarian company. Publishing job for Raven Squad is assigned to Evolved Games along with SouthPeak Interactive. Some of the best game from all genres and on all consoles are allocated to SouthPeak Interactive for publishing, like Velvet Assassin, Edge of Twilight, X-Blades and many more.

Another game with such fusion is Nuclear Dawn, under the development of Valve Corporation. One major difference between the two games is that Nuclear Dawn also fuse Survival horror with FPS and RTS.

The game starts with a devastating plane crash in the Amazon rain forest. The plane is said to be carrying top secret data. The top secret is dangerous and if it is captured by the enemies millions of lives will be in danger. A group of mercenaries are called for this dangerous job of rescuing any survivors and retrieving the top secret. This team is expert in these kind of missions. They set out to the field but the fate is against the team and their pane is shot down on route. After the smoke clears the team learns that there are only eight members left and rest of all dead in the crash. Now the team has three targets, rescue, retrieve and survive. The plot of the game follows there search for the targets and the adventures through the most dangerous jungle of the world with most dangerous enemies.  First they try to complete the assigned mission as planned and later they switch to survival as an civil war breaks out between two factions in the jungle.
