In an exciting announcement that has gamers buzzing, Reburn’s highly anticipated near-future shooter, “La Quimera,” is officially set to release on April 25, 2025! This news comes just a few months after we first caught wind of the project back in February, but with development kicking off in 2020, it seems the team has been hard at work crafting an unforgettable experience.

Reburn is the brainchild of the talented developers formerly known as 4A Games Ukraine, a name that might ring a bell for fans of the “Metro” series. However, it's important to note that they have no affiliation with 4A Games in Malta, who are continuing to work on the beloved Metro titles. Unlike the somber tones of the Metro games, "La Quimera" offers a vibrant and chaotic atmosphere, reminiscent of titles like “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare” and “Cyberpunk 2077.” From the jaw-dropping trailer featuring exosuits and explosive railgun action, it’s clear that this game is poised to push boundaries.

Set within the sprawling fictional mega-city of Nuevo Caracas, “La Quimera” places players in the shoes of Private Military Contractors (PMCs) entangled in a fierce conflict between different factions and shadowy corporations. As unsettling mystical events begin to distort the line between reality and illusion, players will find themselves in a race against time to uncover the truth. This added layer of suspense harkens back to experiences in titles like “Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.”

Your journey isn’t just about gunfire; outfitted with a cutting-edge mecha-onesie that grants the power of invisibility, players can expect to utilize a dazzling array of weaponry that seems almost otherworldly. The narrative backdrop boasts contributions from none other than Nicolas Winding Refn, acclaimed director of “Drive,” who brings his unique vision to the storytelling in the game. Refn's foray into gaming isn't merely a side project; he might very well be attempting to carve out a second career in this dynamic industry.

Despite the creative strides, the team at Reburn is navigating immense challenges. Based in Kyiv, the city has been subjected to ongoing turmoil, including recent missile strikes amid Russia’s prolonged assault on Ukraine. CEO Dmytro Lymar shared insight into the studio's struggles: “As a development studio operating out of Ukraine, the last several years have been extremely challenging. Balancing artistic creation against the backdrop of war and dramatic shifts in the gaming landscape has been a formidable task.”

As the closed beta approaches, excitement is building among the community. Will “La Quimera” live up to the hype? Gamers are eager to dive into this dystopian world and experience the intriguing fusion of action, narrative depth, and artistic vision. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates, as this title promises to be one of the standout releases of 2025!
