Anticipation is building for La Quimera, the latest sci-fi shooter from Reburn, set in a vividly imagined “fictional Latin American megalopolis.” Just under two months after its surprise announcement during a reverse Fight Club twist, the studio has confirmed that the game will launch on April 25. In the lead-up to the release, gamers will have the opportunity to participate in a one-day closed beta test on April 12.
Gameplay Insights and Trailer Release
Alongside the announcement, Reburn unveiled a new gameplay trailer for La Quimera, which showcases the immersive action players can expect. The trailer evokes a sense of nostalgia reminiscent of the Crysis series, particularly with its emphasis on a powerful “exosuit.” While some may find it a missed opportunity that the suit remains silent during intense moments, it undoubtedly adds a unique flavor to the gameplay experience.
Set against the backdrop of Nuevo Caracas, players will navigate a narrative centered on a struggling private military company (PMC) entangled in a sprawling conflict involving rival factions and enigmatic corporations. The storyline promises to intertwine elements of reality and illusion, enhanced by mystical occurrences that challenge the characters’ perceptions.
Players can engage in solo or cooperative gameplay with up to three friends, utilizing high-tech exosuits that provide access to advanced gadgetry and superhuman capabilities. This blend of technology and narrative depth aims to create a compelling gaming experience.
For those eager to get an early taste of La Quimera, the closed beta will commence at 7 am PT/10 am ET on April 12, lasting for a full 24 hours. Although access will be limited, interested players are encouraged to visit the game’s Steam page for a chance to participate.
