Get Ready for La Quimera!

Reburn is buzzing with excitement, and you should be too! Their upcoming narrative-driven first-person shooter, La Quimera, is set to drop on April 25 on PC via Steam, and it’s shaping up to be something special. Priced at an MSRP of $29.99/€29.99, this game promises to take players on a thrilling ride through a futuristic Latin American megalopolis.

Join the Closed Beta!

If you’re eager to dive into the action before the official launch, mark your calendars for April 12 at 7 a.m. PT/2 p.m. UTC. That’s when Reburn kicks off a closed beta that lasts for 24 hours. But here’s the catch: slots are limited, so you’ll want to hop over to La Quimera’s Steam page to request access ASAP. During the beta, you’ll get a sneak peek at a pivotal mid-game mission, either solo or with friends in co-op mode. Dmytro Lymar, Reburn’s CEO and co-founder, expressed the team’s excitement, saying, “We can’t wait to finally share our hard work and vision for La Quimera with players on April 25.”

A Glimpse into Gameplay

Want to see what all the fuss is about? Check out the just-released gameplay trailer that showcases La Quimera’s unique mix of sci-fi world building, Latin American mysticism, and heart-pounding shooter combat. You’ll see exosuit abilities in action, futuristic weaponry that packs a punch, and robotic enemies that stand between you and your objectives. Imagine using a multi-target electric shock to render foes vulnerable or dodging danger with the agility of your exosuit. And the best part? You can team up with two friends for some serious co-op action, strategizing your way through the vibrant landscapes of Nuevo Caracas.

The Story Behind La Quimera

La Quimera isn’t just another shooter; it’s Reburn’s first original video game IP, crafted by the talented Nicolas Winding Refn (known for films like Drive and The Neon Demon) alongside E.J.A. Warren. Set in the fictional mega-city of Nuevo Caracas, the game follows a down-on-their-luck private military company (PMC) caught in a whirlwind of conflict among rival factions and shadowy corporations. As mystical events unfold, the line between reality and illusion starts to blur. With exosuits provided by a mysterious benefactor, players will engage in intense combat, wielding high-tech gadgets and superhuman strength to outsmart their enemies.

A Team Built on Resilience

Behind La Quimera is a dedicated team of developers, including veterans from the Metro series. Project lead Oleksandr Kostiuk, who has experience with titles like Metro 2033, Last Light, and Exodus, is steering this ambitious project. Lymar, who has been in the gaming industry since 2006 and previously directed 4A Games Ukraine, noted the challenges faced by the studio in recent years. He shared, “As a development studio operating out of Ukraine, the last several years have been extremely challenging in terms of bringing any artistic creation to life while contending with the realities of war and dramatic shifts in the games industry.” Despite these hurdles, the team remained focused on their passion: creating immersive, story-driven experiences.

Lymar also expressed gratitude for the support received along the way, saying, “Our work wouldn’t be possible without the bravery and sacrifice of those defending Ukraine, and we’re profoundly grateful for their strength and resilience.”
