Unusual, dark, pretentious: Astropulse: Reincarnation, an ambitious shooter from veteran Blizzard, has been announced

Imagendary Studios, the company founded by former Blizzard lead artist Wei Wang, has unveiled the debut trailer of its first project.

Here's What We Know

Third-person shooter with RPG elements Astropulse: Reincarnation was announced.

It will be a story-oriented sci-fi game in the setting of the dystopian future.

According to the backstory, 250 million years ago, a meteorite struck the Earth, bringing an unknown energy that changed the course of evolution. As a result of this event, new species and civilisations emerged on Earth, and all of them fought for survival. In addition, supernatural creatures have also settled on the planet, which pose a huge threat to all living things.

In the centre of the plot of Astropulse: Reincarnation will be the hero, who with his companions will go to the wastelands to stop the imminent threat and save humanity.

It is noted that Astropulse: Reincarnation will be the beginning of a large-scale media franchise, which will include subsequent games, mini-series, short films, comics and other projects.

Astropulse: Reincarnation trailer looks extremely atmospheric and unusual, but it doesn't allow to draw conclusions about the game yet. It is known that it is being created on Unreal Engine 5.
