The trailer of a game previewed at the opening of Gamescom 2014 included Nikola Tesla, the universal genius and the true father of electricity, who plays a crucial role in the protagonist group.

Ready at Dawn, the developer of "The Order: 1886," said the unique weapons Tesla brings to the table added new elements to the title's gameplay, allowing players a number of options with its combat system.

A gamer can either run through with guns blazing or silently take out enemies one at a time, according to Tech Times.

The game shows Tesla as a member of the secret Order of Arthurian Knights, the protagonist group in the title that battles hordes of half-man and half-animal monsters with weapons such as the electric Arc Gun and the Thermite Rifle.

In "The Order: 1886," Tesla has moved into the United States in 1894 where he toils at scientific experiments alongside several prominent historical figures.

When the Order's interest in his work peaks, they persuade the genius to return to Europe and initiate him into their group.

Upon becoming a member, Tesla is chosen to be the Order's chief scientist. He proceeds to develop more gadgets and weapons combatants use in the course of the game.

There is no news that Tesla will be seen in the field of combat or even appear as a playable character.

But the new concept art revealed alongside the trailer shows the super scientist will receive a big laboratory at the Order's headquarters.

The trailer implies that troubles may arise if the advanced weapons developed by Telsa fall into the possession of the Order's enemies. The powerful weapons could be devastating in the hands of a villain.

The game will be released exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on February 20, 2015.
