1C Game Studios has just announced a new story-driven adventure game, called The War of the Worlds: Siberia. To celebrate the announcement, the publisher shared an impressive in-engine trailer that you can find below.
The game takes place at the end of the 19th century in Russia, placed in an alternate universe. In the summer of 1896, London was raided by Martian invaders. Players will assume the role of a young student who will attempt yo escape the capital city.
Players will be able to use their fists, sabers, and whatever they can get ahold of to fight back. There will also be some riddles to solve. Plus, you will make discoveries that will tell you about the world of the game. During your fights, you will use contemporary weapons and even makeshift explosives. Players can also expect a skill tree that will allow them to upgrade their character.
Now I have to be honest here. If the devs manage to get close to the visuals that are being displayed here, I’ll be utterly impressed. The trailer states that the gameplay footage is from an early version, and it does not represent the quality of the final game. Still, these visuals look too good for a small dev team. So, I’m curious to see whether the final version will be downgraded.
There is currently no ETA on when The War of the Worlds: Siberia will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
