The action RPG Vampyr by DontNod won’t come our way until 2017, but the studio revealed some images showing off the game’s world.
Set in England following the First World War, Europe is crushed, with its remaining cities ravaged by a foreign influenza. It is spreading through London’s alleyways and streets, diminishing her numbers daily. As her inhabitants shutter themselves attempting to avoid infection, only saints and fools remain outside. Those that remain lay as prey to a new predator, schooled in war and deadlier than influenza: the Vampires.
Our character plays one of those affected; a doctor turned vampire. The game’s story, which is still to be revealed, takes us on a journey where all our choices matter. After all, how human can a vampire be when it needs to survive?
Vampyr is due in 2017 on Xbox One and PS4.
