Take 100 gamers preventing to the demise in that Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds method, throw them into the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-esque irradiated and anomaly-ridden ruins of Chernobyl, and also you may need a recreation just like the newly-announced Fear The Wolves. This newest recreation to hop on the recent Battle Royale pattern is coming from Vostok Games, the studio based by some former members of S.T.A.L.Okay.E.R. builders GSC Game World. Fear The Wolves is separate to Vostok’s not-very-good S.T.A.L.Okay.E.R.-inspired multiplayer shooter Survarium, thoughts, which continues to be in early entry.
Across in-game days and nights, Fear The Wolves will throw 100 gamers collectively solo or in groups to dodge anomalies, scavenge for provides, and attempt to homicide one another to bits. The announcement is fairly slim, with out even a screenshot to indicate.
Our Adam is on the occasion in Paris the place publishers Focus Home right now introduced Fear The Wolves, so hopefully he’ll come away with extra to inform us. Adam has really spoken before about wanting a Battle Royale recreation which took cues from S.T.A.L.Okay.E.R. in its environmental hazards, so I do have half a watch on Le Monde for stories of a Mancunian being dragged away to a police automobile kicking and screaming “That’s my idea! C’est mon idée! Je l’ai fait!” The announcement explains:
“Across the hostile wastes, everyone is threatened by deadly anomalies and the dynamically-changing weather. Along with a day-night cycle, this constantly forces survivors to adapt their strategies, and players can find protective gear that allows them to explore dangerous off-limit zones. All the while, the howls of mutated creatures echo through the wasteland…”
It is curious that Vostok are making this whereas Survarium continues to be in early entry. I’ve dropped Vostok a line to ask about what this implies for Survarium.
I’m not shocked that Fear The Wolves is unconnected to Survarium, although. As Focus Home are publishing the sport–placing up cash for it–they’ll certainly need it to be one thing separate fairly than chained to Vostok’s personal recreation, particularly as Survarium doesn’t have a great status. As Marsh Davies stated when he played it, the attraction of Survarium has at all times been a hope that its long-promised PvE sandbox mode will finally provide one thing S.T.A.L.Okay.E.R.-y fairly than the blah multiplayer shooter it really is.
