After I say Bungie, you most likely consider its trendy sci-fi shooters like Halo, Future, and perhaps even Marathon. You most likely do not consider its ’90s RTS sport Delusion, and also you’d guess that any ex-Bungie workers would lean on their expertise in first-person warfare to create one thing much like what has come earlier than. Not Most likely Monsters. The writer co-founded by former Bungie CEO Harold Ryan has ditched the far future for a gritty, stylized WW2 motion sport, Nekome Nazi Hunter.
All we’ve is a teaser to date, nevertheless it’s fairly grisly. It reveals the protagonist, Vano Nastasu, sneaking up on a Nazi soldier earlier than stabbing him within the stomach along with his gleaming knife. “Many monsters need to die,” reads the textual content on-screen. “Some monsters need to die violently.”
After 4 stabs to the intestine, Nekome plunges his blade upwards by way of the Nazi’s chin. A Tarantino-worthy explosion of blood spurts from the soldier’s wound and he falls to the ground. Nekome Nazi Hunter is asserting itself with a bang, and I for one cannot wait to see extra.
This teaser trailer is all that has been launched to the general public to date, however PCGamesN can reveal extra concerning the story behind Vano and his violent campaign. The sport is a single-player motion fight expertise performed from a third-person perspective, and Vano is a Romani man whose household was murdered by the Nazis. Impressed by grindhouse cinema, the sport follows his path of vengeance throughout Europe within the midst of the Second World Struggle. That is no shock for anybody who is aware of that the phrase nekome is Hebrew for revenge, nonetheless.
You will must scout enemy routes, plan with precision and care, and assault with a mixture of stealth and visceral ending strikes. The writer additionally says that each encounter will carry lasting penalties, which sounds promising for the sport’s narrative. I doubt we’ll have full management over Vano’s selections like a branching RPG – there’s little likelihood of a pacifist run – however I am eager to see how our homicide methodology impacts additional encounters. No, you are eager about the Nemesis System once more.
The artwork route can also be fascinating. Relatively than go for gritty hyperrealism as so many triple-A builders do, Nekome Nazi Hunter is nearly cartoonish. It is extra We Completely happy Few than The Final of Us, let’s put it like that. I like a stylized sport myself, and am completely satisfied to see extra publishers eschew common traits to create one thing contemporary and thrilling.
Nekome Nazi Hunter is in growth now. You may comply with growth by becoming a member of its devoted Discord server right here.
That is all the data we’ve to date on Nekome Nazi Hunter, however Most likely Monsters guarantees extra at GDC in March 2026. Hold your eyes on this one.
