From the identical studio who introduced us 2014’s critically acclaimed and BAFTA award-winning The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Witchfire appears to be like set to be the Souls-like FPS that you just by no means thought you wanted.
That includes no cutscenes and myriad roguelike parts, gamers step into the footwear of a Preyer — a witch hunter armed to the enamel with highly effective sorceries sanctioned by the Vatican, in addition to sufficient scorching result in begin a brand new pencil firm.
Visually, the atmospheric shooter makes use of the Unreal Engine and appears actually spectacular, particularly for such a small workforce (the developer numbers simply ten). Plus, the studio has gone on file to explain the sport as a lot nearer in fashion to the Souls system than different FPS’ like DOOM.
The previous few trailers had been very fight targeted and I feel gave the improper impression that Witchfire is a continuous motion fest. It’s not. Positive, some fights will probably be extremely intense, however there are additionally durations of quiet exploration, planning, considering. It’s a lot nearer to Souls in that regard somewhat than, say, Doom. In order that’s why the start of this new trailer is slightly slower.
