Den franske udvikler Dontnod Entertainment og udgiveren Focus Home Interactive har delt nogle detaljer om spilverdenen i deres kommende titel, Vampyr.
Det foregår i London under den spanske syge i 1918, og det danner en interessant baggrund for spillets vampyrhistorie. Her er et uddrag fra den nye pressemeddelelse, der samtidig kigger lidt på Dontnod's vision for spillet.
"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 er planlagt til udgivelse på PC, PS4 og Xbox One i 2017.
