News: A new action-RPG is now available from DONTNOD Entertainment where your choices will have consequences.

Vampyr is now available from DONTNOD Entertainment. In Vampyr, balancing the overall health of citizens with who you choose to kill is vital for players who want to keep districts from being lost. Each of the four main districts have their own health status gauge, which is affected by the number of dead, sick and healthy citizens in that area. As the gauge drops lower, shop prices will increase, citizens are more likely to get sick, and life in the area generally deteriorates. If the status drops below critical condition, then the entire district will be lost forever. This means all shops, citizen side quests, and regular inhabitants in that district are permanently gone, taken over by deadly enemies. If this happens, it doesn’t mean game over. A player who loses all four districts can still complete Vampyr’s main story – though their recklessness will reward them with the ending they deserve.

The premise for the Vampyr story is as follows:

“Prowl the disease ridden streets in Vampyr - a darkly atmospheric action RPG from the studio behind ‘Remember Me’ and ‘Life is Strange’, developed using Unreal Engine 4. Set in early 20th century Britain during a bout of the lethal Spanish flu, the streets of London are crippled by disease, violence and fear. In a completely disorganized and ghostly city, those who are either fools, desperate, or unlucky enough to walk the streets lay prey to Britain’s most elusive predators: the Vampires. Emerging from the chaos, a tormented figure awakes; as the player it is you who determines how to harness your new powers, by specializing in deadly, versatile RPG skill-trees that change the way you play. As a doctor recently turned into a Vampire, you try to understand your new affliction. Your quest of intuition, discoveries and struggles, will be filled with death and drama, while your attempt to stem the irrepressible thirst that constantly drives you to take human lives. As you cling to what remains of your humanity, your decisions will ultimately shape the fate of your hero while searching for answers in the coughing, foggy aftermath of the Spanish Flu.”

Some of the key features in Vampyr include:

Explore a darkly atmospheric early 20th century London;

Play a tormented and powerful Vampire learning the rules of his new condition―a man of science, a beast of the night: Your toughest battles will be within yourself;

Build your own combat style through a wide range of crafted weapons and powerful Vampire abilities to defeat a large and unique bestiary;

Moral choices will shape your story: How human can a Vampire be when he must feed?
