From the makers of Remember Me and Life Is Strange comes Vampyr, an action RPG with a gothic horror edge...
NewsEpisodic adventure Life Is Strange was wildly different from the action platforming of Remember Me, and Dontnod Entertainment's next game looks like another change of direction for the French studio.
Called Vampyr, it's billed as an action RPG with a dark horror theme. It's set in Edwardian Britain, a time when Europe was struck by the twin blight of the First World War and the Spanish Flu outbreak. Against this backdrop, you play a surgeon who's returned home from the war with a vicious bout of vampirism.
You can see the new teaser trailer below:
According to Dontnod, Vampyr will include brawling, shooting, crafting, and a range of missions doled out by non-player characters. The twist, however, is that you'll have to find mortal victims to slake your thirst for blood.
"Don’t forget: sooner or later, you will have to feed, and make a difficult choice... who will be your prey?" Dontnod's press release reads. "Absolutely all characters in the game are potential victims of your vampiric lust. Carefully study the habits of your next victim, his or her relationships with other characters, and set up your strategy to feed, unnoticed: seduce them, change their daily habits, or make sure they end up alone in a dark street..."
It sounds like a solid concept and a clever use of its early 20th century setting. If Dontnod can couple the world building of Remember Me with a more compelling combat system, we could be in for a claret-spattered treat.
Vampyr's due out in 2017 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
