Sci-Fi FPS La Quimera Out Now on PC via Steam Early Access
KYIV, Ukraine--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Game developer Reburn, today announced the Early Access launch of their first original narrative sci-fi shooter game, La Quimera on PC via Steam.

Share Set in and around the fictional Latin American mega-city of Nuevo Caracas, the game tells the story of a down-on-their-luck PMC group caught up in a vast conflict between rival factions and shadowy corporations, as mystical events increasingly blur the line between reality and illusion. Exosuits provided by one such benefactor allow players to engage in intense combat, utilizing high-tech gadgetry and superhuman strength to outwit their enemies. Key Features include: An original world and narrative created by Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, The Neon Demon) and E.J.A. Warren. Play the action-packed campaign in single-player or coordinate your efforts in co-op with up to two fellow players (total three player co-op support). Explore the world of Nuevo Caracas and its surrounding jungles, shimmering skyscrapers, and overgrown ruins patrolled by rogue robotic creatures. Collect and upgrade your arsenal of futuristic firearms and exosuit abilities, turning the tide of battle in your favor. Early Access players will have the opportunity to experience the story early on, and provide critical feedback to Reburn as the ongoing game development continues with more features, better narrative and gameplay integration, additional levels that complete the game's major story arcs, and refined pacing and combat design. The world of La Quimera reflects an expansive and immersive experience that will unfold. 'We truly appreciate the support our community has shown since we made the decision to pivot La Quimera into Early Access,' said Dmytro Lymar, CEO and co-founder of Reburn.

Reburn comprises more than 110 developers, featuring many designers, artists, animators, programmers, QA, and more from across the Metro game franchise. In moving on from its established IP, Kyiv, Ukraine-based Reburn is doing something rare. Most game companies get addicted to sequels. But Reburn is taking a risk on brand new IP. The world and narrative of La Quimera is written and created by Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, The Neon Demon) and E.J.A. Warren. 4A Games was founded in Kyiv in Ukraine in 2006, and development of Metro 2033 began. The company built its own 4A game engine. In 2007, 4A Ukraine worked through its Cyprus office to sign a deal with THQ to fund development and publishing of Metro 2033. The IP rights went to THQ as part of the deal, but the IP rights to the game engine stayed with 4A Ukraine. The title came out in 2010, and it was a hit as a triple-A game. Then THQ signed up for the development of Metro Last Light. But in 2012, THQ went bankrupt and the rights to Metro Last Light were acquired in an auction by Koch Media, operating under the Deep Silver trademark. In 2014, Russia attacked Ukraine for the first time. Part of the team left and founded their own studio in Malta. La Quimera is available now on Windows PC via Steam for $30/£30 GBP.

'I want to raise this glass to our fans, to our community': 4A Games celebrates Metro 2033's 15th anniversary and hints at next Metro game
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. "You've given us 15 years of support, 15 years of passion, and 15 years of love. Thank you." 4A Games creative director Yevhen "Lin" Fedorets shared that heartfelt message alongside more words of gratitude from the Metro 2033 team in a video celebrating the game's 15th anniversary this week. Andriy "Prof" Prokhorov, 4A Games co-founder and creative director, gave a toast to the fans as well, saying "I want to raise this glass to our fans, to our community. Without you guys, without your support, Metro would not have become what it has become. Thank you, Spartans." The celebratory words of appreciation from the 4A Games team were accompanied by a look back at some of the highlights of the Metro series over the years, along with a hint at what comes next. Originally released on March 16, 2010, Metro 2033 was the start of a hit series of thrilling post-apocalyptic FPS adventures following the survivors of a nuclear war as they fight for their lives in the metro tunnels beneath Moscow. The series was originally adapted from the book Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky, who is involved in the development of the games, as well. In the decade and a half since its release, Metro 2033's intense, emotional story has become all the more relevant for its Ukraine-based dev team. As 4A Games shared in a blog post celebrating the games's anniversary, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine is shaping the future of the franchise: "In 2022 a full-scale Russian invasion changed how we wanted to tell the story of the next Metro game. As art became life for many of our developers in Ukraine, we drew from that lived experience to create an even darker story, those themes already present in Metro becoming ever-more apparent and important." 4A Games added, "Metro has always had a hard-hitting, political, anti-war and often emotional story—and you can be sure these themes will continue thanks to our ongoing collaboration with franchise creator, author, and activist Dmitry Glukhovsky." The 4A Games situation in Ukraine is a little confusing. In February, 4A Ukraine, which we learned at the time had been an entirely separate company from 4A Malta since that studio's founding in 2014, changed its name to Reburn and announced its next game, La Quimera. But 4A said in a studio update posted in February that, following the release of Metro Exodus and its DLC, it launched another studio based in Kyiv as 4A Games Limited, which took in roughly 50 employees, while 4A Ukraine moved ahead with La Quimera and eventually changed its name—so 4A Games still has a presence in Ukraine. By the sound of it, 4A Games is still hard at work on the next Metro game. While the 15th anniversary video and blog post don't give much away (least of all a release date), 4A Games clearly has something in the works, and the studio closed out its anniversary blog post by building a little excitement for what's coming up: "Rest assured, you are in for quite the ride. To our community, thank you for your words of support, your patience and your excitement over what is to come. We are grateful to have you, and rest assured, despite the challenges we face, we will overcome them as we have all others before." If you haven't experienced the Metro series yet, now is the perfect time to give it a try. The first game is 85% off on Steam right now for the Steam Spring Sale, bringing it down to a measly $3. You can also snag the Metro Saga bundle for just under $12, which is a steal for three complete games plus the Metro: Exodus expansion pass. 2025 games: This year's upcoming releasesBest PC games: Our all-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better together
