Creepy Jar, developers of the hugely successful survival game Green Hell, has just announced a new FPS by the name of Chimera at the PC Gaming Show 2023. Check out the trailer for it above.
Here’s a quick synopsis for Chimera, which doesn’t yet have a release date:
Chimera is a story of man versus nature set against an otherworldly and breathtaking sci-fi environment where elemental cataclysms of extreme heat and cold loom as a constant danger. The player takes up the mantle as a convict exiled from the Earth to serve their sentence by mining and expanding industrial production alongside researching new technology on a seemingly hospitable new planet rife with mystery and danger. Tasked with surviving the waves of fiery inferno or extreme cold—not to mention facing down against hostile enemy monsters in tense combat—each cycle spells destruction yet ushers in a new era of growth and rebuilding. Whether solo or as part of an up-to-4-player co-op experience, players will explore, adapt, mine, gather resources, and build complex machinery in order to survive and prosper.
It’s fair to say that the co-op FPS space is a pretty crowded one, but so was the survival genre before Creepy Jar managed to find a strong audience within it. Chimera blends base building, exploration, combat, and managing resources to make it more akin to something like Rust without the PVP (at least from what we can tell). There also aren’t many games where you’re dealing with the aftermath of a star being destroyed, so that’s pretty neat.
No platforms apart from PC announced just yet; hold tight for some gameplay on this one.
