Ooopsi, some international colleagues have apparently slipped out of an article prematurely. Former employees of 4A Games (Metro) apparently work on a new shooter.
Update:
Now that the official announcement is also there, there is still a lot to add. For example, the developer Reburn is the former branch 4a Games Ukraine, which is now working as an independent studio with the name Reburn. 4a Games, once taken over by EMBRACER, had already divided himself off in 2014 and meanwhile its headquarters in Malta. 4a Games continues to work on the metro series, but the two studios cooperate primarily on the technical side.
La Quimera plays in a Latin American metropolis in 2064 after most states were destroyed by catastrophes caused by naturally and humans. The world now consists of microst countries that continue to fight, but now with mercenaries and military service providers instead of solid armies.
You take on the role of such a mercenary and strike with modern technology through the metropolis and the jungle in the surrounding area. A configurable exoskeleton is the basis of your combat skills and allows you to different styles against the various opposing factions.
On the now opened Steam page If there is more information about the game and the trailer is now freely available:
Original message 27.02.2025 4:00 p.m.
That could be good news. A bunch of former 4a Games employees, well known through the Metro series, has set up a new studio with Reburn and is working on a new shooter. It is apparently called La Quimera (Spanish for Chimera) and offers sci-fi action with strong Killzone-Vibes.
At least this emerges from articles, which apparently slips through Embargo and are now mostly offline again, but the Internet is quick and does not forget. The same applies to the first trailer, which has also disappeared into the vastness of the network, not without some screenshots Reset to leave that look quite interesting.
The story is said to come from Nicolas Winding Refn, which is more or less known as an author and director (Drive, Walhalla Rising). It allegedly puts you into a Latin American metropolis of the future, which mixes exoticism and Latino folklore with weapons and technology of the future. The game is said to be solo or cooperatively with up to four players, but still put the narrative in the foreground.
The leaked images show hybrids from humans and machines, but also something like the military or mercenary and potential resistance fighter, so that you can definitely guess what awaits you in terms of content. The keyart reminds a little of Crysis and indicates a PC version via Steam. It is apparently still open whether the game will also come for consoles.
The Reburn team currently has 110 employees, many of whom have previously worked on 4a Games, which raises a little question whether there has been a major emigration, also in view of the fact that Metro 4 has been long in coming.
Based on the fact that articles and trailers for La Quimera have already leaked through, an official announcement should already be done in the bellows.
