Franska utvecklaren Dontnod Entertainment (Life is Strange) och utgivaren Focus Home Interactive har idag avslöjat de första konkreta detaljerna om kommande rollspelet Vampyr. Det utspelas i London under spanska sjukans kulmen år 1918, och som namnet antyder vankas en mörk och ondskefull vampyrsaga. Såhär skriver Dontnod själva i pressreleasen:
"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.
Unbeknownst to her inhabitants, they prowl among them, blending into the coughs and anguished cries of London's despoiled, post-War clean-up and restoration efforts. With a city once again under siege, it has never been easier to hide, but so too has there never been a better opportunity to come into the light!"
Vampyr släpps till PC, Playstation 4 och Xbox One år 2017, och här är lite smaskiga konceptbilder samt en trailer.
