E3 2017: Watch A Gorgeous New Trailer For DONTNOD’s ‘Vampyr’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Wow.

This is the first E3 2017 trailer that I’ve had the pleasure of seeing thus far, and damn if it doesn’t kick of this year’s expo with a bang (yeah, I understand that the actual expo is still several days away).

DONTNOD won my heart in 2015 with the phenomenal Life is Strange, so you’d better believe that I’m watching Vampyr with a close eye, and along with the just revealed three minute long E3 trailer for the game, the company has also announced that Vampyr will launch for PS4, Xbox One, and PC this November – I thought that it would be much further away than that.

In Vampyr, you are Dr. Jonathan Reid, a famous surgeon home from the Great War and recently turned into a vampire against your will. As a doctor, you have taken an oath to save lives and take care of the sick; as a vampire, you are cursed to hunt those you vowed to heal.

To survive against deadly foes roaming the streets – vampire hunters, undead Skal and other monstrosities – you will need to choose which civilians to feed on, so you can grow stronger and evolve your vampiric abilities. Use your unholy powers to manipulate and delve into the lives of those around you – but be prepared to live with the consequences of your actions. A web of interconnected citizens with unique lives and relationships react to your decisions, and killing just one may cause the downfall of an entire city district. Your actions will save or doom London.

Take a look at the new trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

DONTNOD’s ‘Vampyr: Darkness Within’ Gets A Slick New Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: DONTNOD’s Life is Strange was by and large my favourite video game of 2015.

That said, of course I couldn’t be more excited for their next title, Vampyr: Darkness Within. The first trailer for the game debuted at E3 earlier this year, and showed off a title that looked nothing like Life is Strange, but looked extremely intriguing in its own right.

Today, a new trailer for Vampyr has popped up online, showing off more of that dark, dark London backdrop, and getting us further acquainted with our pro(?)tagonist, Docor Jonathan Reid.

Take a look at the new trailer below, and let us know what you think! Vampyr: Darkness Within is set to launch in 2017.

Vampyr, the new Action-RPG from acclaimed game-development studio Dontnod, explores protagonist Jonathan Reid’s moral plight in the E3 trailer. Set in London, 1918, Vampyr promises to offer a unique and deeply immersive experience with a strong and engaging narrative steeped in vampire mythology. The E3 trailer unveiled today introduces the nightmare your hero must live every day now he has become a real monster.

 

You play as a veteran of World War I, Doctor Jonathan Reid as he tries to come to terms with his transition, and the hunger that drives him to kill. Vampyr includes a unique level-up system that plays on this narrative conundrum, where huge amounts of experience points can be gained by feeding on innocent people, compared to combat. As a doctor, you must decide how many lives must be sacrificed in order for you to find a cure for this “disease”, the ultimate goal of Jonathan.

E3 2016: Watch The First Trailer For DONTNOD’s ‘Vampyr’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: DONTNOD’s Life is Strange was by and large my favourite video game of 2015.

That said, of course I couldn’t be more excited for their next title, Vampyr; the very first trailer for Vampyr has finally made its way online, and it looks like a bloody good time… and also not like Life is Strange at all.

Take a look below, and see for yourself.

Yeah, I was pretty much expecting a Life is Strange style choose-your-narrative title, and it’s pretty clear that Vampyr is nothing like that. The choices that you make will certainly have an effect on the game’s world however, as DONTNOD notes that “Taking lives in London is not easy. Killing too many in a district may cause its infrastructure to collapse and turn into disarray. Every single life will also have a butterfly effect on the other NPCs surrounding them; a merchant’s wife could be killed and he could decide to close shop and leave town. Every life you take away will have consequences for the city and the people around them: Cursed be the choice!”

Yep, I’m in. Vampyr hits PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2017.
