Stealth Platformer SteamDolls Arrives February 11 with Metal Gear Voice Cast Reunion

Get Ready for SteamDolls: A Stealthy Adventure Awaits

Mark your calendars, folks! SteamDolls, the highly anticipated debut from the French-Belgian studio The Shady Gentleman, is set to launch on February 11th at 1 PM EST / 10 AM PST / 6 PM UTC. That’s right—this stealth-meets-action platformer is making its way to Steam Early Access, and a brand new trailer just dropped to get us all hyped up.

Meet The Whisper: Your Guide Through Chaos

In this game, you’ll step into the shoes of The Whisper, a character who’s as bloodthirsty as he is witty, and let’s not forget just a tad eccentric. Voiced by none other than David Hayter, the iconic voice behind Solid Snake, The Whisper navigates a comic book-inspired steampunk city teetering on the brink of anarchy. Want to sneak around or go in guns blazing? You’ll have to find that perfect balance of stealth and brutality as you carve your path through this chaotic world.

And if you’re itching to get a taste of what’s in store, a free demo is available now, featuring the game’s intro sequence. The full game will support multiple languages at launch—English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish—so everyone can join in on the fun! With about six chapters and an estimated 5-7 hours of content, there’s plenty to dive into. Plus, the developers are eager for player feedback to fine-tune the mechanics and balance before the full launch.

A Passion Project with Star Power

Originally teased back in 2019 and successfully Kickstarted, SteamDolls is a true labor of love for its director. The game’s aesthetic is a stunning blend of 2D and 3D art, complete with unique, fully voiced cinematic cutscenes that elevate the storytelling. Picture this: a sprawling world filled with diverse zones, from an overgrown chapel to a nightmarish underbelly that looks like it’s made of flesh. Sounds intriguing, right? And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

As you explore, you’ll gather treasures to upgrade The Whisper and his skills, tailoring the gameplay to fit your style. Want to unlock unique lore and showcase your trophies? You got it!

Embrace the Madness of a City Gone Wild

But what’s a game without a little chaos? In SteamDolls, you’ll find yourself immersed in a city that’s lost its mind. Will you stealthily navigate the shadows, or will you go in with all guns blazing? The choice is yours! As The Whisper, you’ll have the chance to perform devastating finishers on your foes or slip through the cracks undetected.

The narrative promises to be as engaging as the gameplay, inviting you to uncover the secrets of this dying world. Hack into terminals to experience the memories of the past and confront the ghosts that linger in the remnants of modernity.
