Try to survive in a post-apocalyptic Paris, from the Eiffel Tower to theArc de Triomphe and the Louvre... That's what VG Entertainment Studio has in store for you with Forest Reigns, a new narrative FPS scheduled for PC at an as yet undetermined date (but available as a wishlist on Steam). Plunged into a Paris where hostile nature has invaded emblematic monuments, this game offers an experience combining survival, exploration and role-playing elements.
"Five years after the forest's emergence, civilization no longer exists. It doesn't just inhabit the environment: it's a living intelligence with almost limitless power, deadly to those who harm it, but curious about others. Dive deep into its mysteries and discover why nature has chosen to fight back. Will you face its fury, battling ferocious creatures and evading dangerous traps? Or will you adapt, harnessing the power of the Forest to turn it against your enemies? The choice is yours!
Designed by the former developers of STALKER, the game stands out for its unique environment. The French capital, transformed into a conscious forest, becomes a playground where every interaction with nature can influence the story."We've always been passionate about creating organic games, in which the player's freedom of action can shape the story and offer unique gaming experiences," explains Ruslan Didenko, studio director, and quoted by ourIGN confreres. Players will have to navigate between the dangers of living vegetation and human marauders to survive.
In a nearly 8-minute gameplay video, the studio highlights three distinct ways of approaching a mission, emphasizing the player's freedom of choice and environmental interactions. The forest isn't just a backdrop, it's an intelligence that you can fight or try to tame.
Direct assault: Face the forest head-on, fight alongside a squad, use firepower and manipulate the hostile environment to your advantage.
Stealth attack: Operate in the shadows, use nature as a tool and drive your enemies to the brink of destruction.
Exploration: Find hidden passages, turn environmental traps against your opponents and use the remains of the city to foil them.
Forest Reigns thus offers deep, emergent gameplay, where every decision influences the experience and the story as a whole. It's an ambitious project that could appeal to fans of narrative FPS thanks to its original approach, while we wait to discover more. Want to give it a try? You can already add the game to your wish list on Steam!
With its ambitious art direction, Forest Reigns features mechanisms where nature reacts to players' actions. From theArc de Triomphe invaded by intelligent plants to the Ministry of the Environment, each location promises unique challenges. This daring project could appeal to fans of narrative FPS thanks to its original approach, despite a few technical adjustments still required. But we can't wait to find out more!
