Narrative-driven first-person-shooter La Quimera will launch for PC via Steam on April 25 for $29.99 / €29.99, developer Reburn announced. A limited-entry closed beta test will be available for 24 hours starting April 12 at 7:00 a.m. PT / 10:00 a.m. ET, allowing users to play part of a pivotal mid-game mission in solo or cooperative play.
“Our Reburn team can’t wait to finally share our hard work and vision for La Quimera with players on April 25,” said Reburn co-founder and CEO Dmytro Lymar in a press release. “Ahead of our release, we invite players to join us in our closed beta to get an early look at the co-op experience for our vision of Nuevo Caracas and far beyond.”
Lymar continued, “As a development studio operating out of Ukraine, the last several years have been extremely challenging in terms of bringing any artistic creation to life while contending with the realities of war and dramatic shifts in the games industry. Through it all, we stayed focused on what we love: Creating immersive, story-driven experiences. Our work wouldn’t be possible without the bravery and sacrifice of those defending Ukraine, and we’re profoundly grateful for their strength and resilience. We’re also truly thankful to everyone who supported and believed in us along the way.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Reburn:
