On the occasion of the first showcase of 505 Games which we were able to attend in preview, the Italian publisher succinctly presented what is advancing as one of its most ambitious projects.
Directed by Swedish studio The Bearded Ladies, to whom Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden and Corruption 2029 owe it, Miasma Chronicles is an action-adventure game scheduled for 2023 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series.
A tortured universe
In the short teaser presented to us, we see a robot that could be straight out of NieR: Automata, accompanying a young man named Elvis, struggling with a strange matter that he seems to be trying to master.
To do this, the protagonist uses a glove channeling electrical energy. His opponent is of unknown origin, but doesn't have much organic. In fact, we think of certain enemies crossed in the excellent Control, from the Finns of Remedy Entertainment.
Through the dialogue between the two characters, we understand that this glove was bequeathed to her by her mother, and that the challenge is precisely to try to find her “on the other side of this wall”.
A trailer of the most enigmatic therefore, which however suggests that the attraction of the studio The Bearded Ladies for the post-apo is intact. Hoping that the somewhat rigid animations presented here do not presage a game with too modest ambitions.
