Sci-Fi FPS La Quimera Out Now on PC via Steam Early Access
Storied Ukrainian developer welcomes players to the ravaged megalopolis of Nuevo Carcas featuring a world and narrative written and created by Nicolas Winding Refn and E.J.A Warren
KYIV, Ukraine – May 7, 2025 – Game developer Reburn, today announced the Early Access launch of their first original narrative sci-fi shooter game, La Quimera on PC via Steam. Formerly known as 4A Games Ukraine, known for their work as one of the studios behind the critically acclaimed Metro game series, Reburn proudly presents La Quimera, set in a futuristic Latin American megalopolis overrun by technological collapse, sinister corporate dealings, and multiple factions fighting for their own tomorrow.
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.
