Developer Ninth Exodus and publisher Tophat Studios have shared their plans to bring their forthcoming title Peripeteia, a first-person shooter/immersive sim with RPG elements set in a “Post-Sovietpunk” city, to consoles as well as Steam. The game’s kickstarter campaign has already surpassed its €10,000 goal with twelve days left to raise funds.
What Is Peripetea?
In a press release, Tophat Studios gave this overview:
“Peripeteia is a new intellectual property created, designed, and wholly-owned by newcomers Ninth Exodus. Harkening back to the classic days of Ion Storm and Looking Glass Studios, the game is an immersive simulation, action-stealth, post-Sovietpunk RPG. In the cold, dystopian post-soviet Polish Solidarity Republic, you step into the cybernetic shoes of “Marie”; a trained assassin, cyberized supersoldier, and now military surplus. Dumped onto the streets within a formerly closed city—a hollowed carcass of a now-dead and obsolete area of the Soviet Union— Marie finds herself among the myriad of mercenaries and teched-out former soldiers fighting for global powers circling like vultures overhead.
Controlling Marie, seeing through her eyes immersed in this simulation, you will live an entire lifetime of experiences compounded into a single save file. Unlocking the hidden technology the old Union left behind, and the dark weapons of last resort they stood to unleash, is the goal of all who step foot in this cursed tomb. Decide to support your fellow Poles, who are burning through everything to ensure the survival of their new Solidarity Republic; betray those of your own blood to ensure the rise of the mysterious Second Union; or entertain the whispers of distant powers, who say nothing to you except tales of killings and unimaginable wealth. You will choose the fate of this world.”
The game’s trailer includes lots of oppressive concrete structures and ominous fog and shadows, demonstrating the evocative atmosphere the game is aiming to capture. Tophat Studios’ statement also mentions the game’s interactable environment, which will allow for creative and varied playstyles and players skulk, shoot and scramble through the game’s expansive levels.
When Will Peripeteia Be Released?
Peripeteia will be released in 2022, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. A demo is currently available on the game’s Steam page.
