British publisher Sold Out Sales and Marketing and developer Toadman Interactive have announced Immortal Unchained.
The new game is described as yet another Demon’s/Dark Souls-inspired action RPG, however it shakes things up a bit with third-person shooter elements. It’s set for a 2018 release across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Featured above, you can view the game’s announcement trailer.
The game also switches things up by having its setting take place in a futuristic science-fantasy world, where everything is falling apart due to a mysterious cosmic phenomenon. The player takes up the role of a living weapon whose sole purpose is to end the apocalypse.
Here’s a bit more on the game’s story, via the PlayStation Blog:
Explore many worlds
Immortal’s Cosmos consists of many worlds, some of which you will visit in the game. All worlds are connected via a complex network knows as the Stream. Explore the Stream and its wondrous and deadly worlds on your mission and collect their clues, gear, and rewards to become a weapon strong enough to save the Cosmos.
Will you figure it out?
So why does it have to be you to save the Cosmos? Well… you’re going to have to find out. The main plot will never be forced upon anyone, at least not in a very large extent. We prefer to make it harder to find out about what has and is happening, and not to be in the way for those that want to get into combat as fast as possible. Once you start digging, there’s going be a lot of untold stories about the world hidden below the surface. The story is written by our excellent narrative team, including Anne Toole (The Witcher) and Adrian Vershinin (Killzone: Shadow Fall, Battlefield: 1). I personally enjoy it a lot, and I hope you will too.
