Taking a page straight out of Scrubs comes Vampyr, the latest game from developer Dontnod (Life is Strange). See, in Vampyr you are a doctor that is trying to stop the spread of a flu epidemic when whoops, you're now a vampire. Funny how these things happen!
Vampyr is not expected to be released until at least 2017. Once it does get released, it will be out on the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A few notes here say that you'll be able to craft your own weapons and acquire various vampire abilities. There will also apparently be a morality system in the game.
You know, this sounds a bit like a spiritual successor (prequel? spin-off?) of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines and I am perfectly okay with this. Have some concept art.
Acclaimed game-development studio Dontnod and publisher Focus Home Interactive today showcase new artwork for their new RPG Vampyr, set in 1918, during the peak of the Spanish flu that laid waste to London's once bustling population.
Following the First World War, Europe is crushed, with its remaining cities ravaged by a foreign influenza. It is spreading through London's alleyways and streets, diminishing her numbers daily. As her inhabitants shutter themselves attempting to avoid infection, only saints and fools remain outside. Those that remain lay as prey to a new predator, schooled in war and deadlier than influenza: the Vampires.
Unbeknownst to her inhabitants, they prowl among them, blending into the coughs and anguished cries of London's despoiled, post-War clean-up and restoration efforts. With a city once again under siege, it has never been easier to hide, but so too has there never been a better opportunity to come into the light!
