That's how this game looks to me. Personally I see a clear difference between the op's image and the 2 similar ones here. Also there is a notable difference in the effect of the forge gun compared to other concept images. Infact the wall behind the blue crates actually has a 2 gray tone I've seen sometimes on walls in the game. Also the very polygonal debris (below the heavy's foot and the crates) leaves me with a strong impression this is an in game engine render.

Personally I can't see this not being a render and if not the game engine it's still completely of a different quality than those provided or other examples in the gallery.

It's also a lot newer - who is to say that a different artist made this one compared to the others? Or that they are using a new program to do the concept art? A lot of variables that all add up to "who knows".

Maybe I'm having some sort of visual issues, but that doesn't look like concept art to me.

The level of detail seems considerably lower than the renders you posted, but then those weren't likely rendered using this games engine. When I say engine renders I mean something using the game engine vs what the concepts are generated in (I'm guessing carbon). Though either way they would still indicate a visual asset has been made and could indicate some level of progress on missing suits, or maybe I'm just suffering from false hope. Edit: Missed the "like the one posted" due to quick glancing. The images there look painted, which the image provided shows no signs of, so depending on how much I'm supposed to read into those exact words I think I'm even more confused.

A lot of variables that all add up to "who knows". Newer, but worse looking, IMHO. I actually find it looks closest to the images under the screenshots section. Either way, all I'm saying is that it looks like it's using the games engine and if so there must be a 3d model behind it. It doesn't look exactly like anything we recognize apparently which, again IF it is a render, game engine or not, may be progress towards missing racial suits.
