by

Last night saw the continuation of the Future Games Show, during which we disseminated news about major announcements and multimedia content. In addition, we felt it necessary to compile a supplementary recap, highlighting lesser-known titles as well.

What was shown at the Future Games Show?

Animal Use Protocol

In the Spring issue of the Future Games Show, there was a fresh trailer showcased, and it centered around a unique survival horror title called Animal Use Protocol. This game places us in control of a highly intelligent chimpanzee who is attempting to flee from a crumbling research facility.

The game will be released on PC next year.

FEAR FA 98

We enjoy games with wild concepts, and FEAR FA 98 certainly fits this description. The developers label this project as a “blend of the eerie atmosphere from Silent Hill and the soccer gameplay of FIFA 98.

In this game, the action revolves around soccer-like contests set in a fiery, nightmarish landscape. Here, ruthless characters clash on the pitch employing an array of tools such as weapons, dark spells, and occult summoning practices, while still utilizing their physical skills.

Incredibly, every aspect seems to fit harmoniously, as if designed with a shared purpose. Experience this harmony for yourself by trying out the demo accessible via Steam. At present, the game is slated for PC-only release, with a launch date still undisclosed.

The game is being created by Rock Square Thunder studio and is slated for release through the Broken Mirror Games publishing label, a division of Bloober Team that focuses on creating unique horror experiences.

I Hate This Place is coming exclusively to PC, with the release scheduled for this year.

Kingmakers

One intriguing game that caught our eye at the exhibition was Kingmakers, a blend of shooting and strategy games, affectionately nicknamed as “Mount and Blade” but with machine guns instead of swords.

During the Future Games Show, they unveiled a trailer showcasing the fundamental gameplay elements. This upcoming game offers an opportunity for players to engage in battles set in England during the year 1461, with access to contemporary weaponry.

The title is heading for PC and is expected to be released in the second quarter of this year.
