This Exciting PS5 Single Player Game Is Not Resident Evil, But It Sure Looks Like It

Gun-fu goodness

Image: Push SquareOne of the neatest things about this generation has been how some releases have seemingly come out of nowhere. Take this year’s Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, for example – it’s a brand-new title from a fresh team and has taken the industry by storm.

Credit to Project Renegade: The Becoming, then – this Resident Evil-inspired single player narrative action game could be one to watch.

The title’s being developed by Chinese studio Invercity Game Works, a team we can’t find any additional information on.

But it looks really cool – it’s a traditional third-person shooter with gun-fu elements, so instead of just shooting zombies like in most games, you’ll be juggling with your ammunition and doing acrobatics.

Here’s how the official blurb introduces the plot:

“In 1995, humanity’s last hope – Project Retrograde – collapsed as the underground world was shattered by the ancient parasite L.U.C.A. Play as a bounty hunter symbiotic with parasite, using its dangerous power to save the world, even if it consumes you.”

As alluded to above, you’ll be augmented with parasitic skills, which you’ll be able to upgrade throughout the campaign to enhance your combat prowess.

“Delve into the post-apocalyptic realm filled with retro technology. Manipulate the LUX system to alter underground weather, or climb towers to reach unknown regions and uncover the truth buried for years.”

There’s no release date just yet, but the title is planned for PS5 at launch, and looks like it could be pushing Sony’s system hard.

While it’s clearly been heavily inspired by Resident Evil, this looks like yet another Chinese title that’s propelled by some pretty remarkable production values. There’s a lot of them emerging at the moment, isn’t there?
