Post-apocalyptic Paris survival FPS Forest Reigns announced

Ukraine developer VG Entertainment (formerly Vostok Games) has announced Forest Reigns, a new survival first-person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic version of Paris.

Forest Reigns is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), though a release date wasn’t announced.

“We’ve always had a passion for creating system-driven games, where the player’s freedom of action could shape the story and provide unique playthrough experiences,” said studio head Ruslan Didenko. “After years of multiplayer online production, we are now ‘back to the roots’ with creating Forest Reigns – a solid single-player FPS with a twisted story, exploration, survival, role-playing elements, and on top of all that, the interactive environment! This is the most daring concept we’ve ever explored. With Forest Reigns we aim to bring something cool and fresh to the genre.”

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer and gameplay:

Set five years after a pandemic wipes out most of the human species, FOREST REIGNS takes place in a world overtaken by a sentient forest. Players will find themselves in Paris, which is now entwined with the forest’s primeval beauty and lethal traps.

In this captivating new realm, survival depends on adaptability, as the forest plays a key role, influencing every move. The game offers intense FPS combat, survival crafting, and non-linear storytelling, combining all this into a thrilling experience. With each mission, new mysteries unfold as players explore the dark, twisted corners of the transfigured metropolis.
