As one might expect, the game has changed in some places throughout the course of its development. The game was first announced at The Game Awards 2017 and has been in development for over 5 years. As part of their current team, The Astronauts previously created the narrative driven mystery game The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, which became a critical and sales hit for the small indie developer. Witchfire is an upcoming roguelite first-person shooter from The Astronauts, the same developers that created The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

The development team at The Astronauts was also formerly key developers at People Can Fly, where they helped to create the cult favorite FPS games Painkiller and Bulletstorm, among others. The game uses Unreal Engine 4, and if you have an NVIDIA graphics card on your PC, you will be able to get a driver update on Thursday that will enable DLSS 3 support, along with NVIDIA Reflex support. Witchfire will be a timed exclusive on the Epic Games Store for a while, although the plan is to eventually offer it on other PC stores, as well as consoles.

Here's a quick summary of the game's storyline:ĭesperate for a chance to triumph in the deadly war against witches, the Church calls on forbidden pagan magic to turn willing sinners into immortal witch hunters called preyers.Īrmed with powerful spells and fearsome firearms conjured by the best Vatican sorcerers, your mission is to find the infamous witch of the Black Sea, destroy the phantom army that protects her, and retrieve a mysterious artifact that can finally turn the tide of war.
