Invariant feature

Invariant is a Half-Life-inspired FPS from former Serious Sam devs


Now here is a game that passed under my radar. Last month, Faros Interactive released a teaser trailer for its upcoming Half-Life-inspired FPS, Invariant. So, let’s take a look at it, shall we?

In Invariant, you play as a scientist who must take on rogue AI, strange creatures, and deranged colleagues. Players will be able to use inventive tools, powerful weapons, and quick thinking to uncover a station’s secrets and reclaim control.

Faros Interactive consists of devs who have worked on Serious Sam and Skywind. Invariant aims to blend tight combat mechanics with smart puzzles and a unique narrative in a chilling tone. And, as you will see, its teaser trailer looks actually good.

Sadly, there is no ETA for when the game will come out. And, since this is a small team we’re talking about, we can assume it will not come out until 2027 (or even 2028). And that’s me being optimistic here.

Invariant scratches that double-A FPS category that has been lost these past years. And you know what? I’m all in for simpler double-A games with good gameplay mechanics and a cool story. I don’t expect this to be the next best thing. At the very least, I hope it has fun gunplay mechanics, cool graphics and an interesting story to tell.

Speaking of HL, there are rumors that Valve may reveal Half-Life 3 this year. As I’ve said before, these are mere rumors and nothing more. So, take them with a grain of salt. Until Valve itself officially announces it, HL3 isn’t real. At least for me.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
