New Vampyr Artwork Unveiled

Acclaimed game-development studio Dontnod and publisher Focus Home Interactive today showcased new artworks for their new RPG Vampyr, set in 1918, during the peak of the Spanish flu that is reported to have killed over 228,000 people in the UK, taking more lives than the great war in that year. 

Following the First World War, Europe is crushed, with its remaining cities ravaged by a foreign influenza. It is spreading through London's alleyways and streets, diminishing her numbers daily. As her inhabitants shutter themselves attempting to avoid infection, only saints and fools remain outside. Those that remain lay as prey to a new predator, schooled in war and deadlier than influenza: the Vampires.

Unbeknownst to her inhabitants, they prowl among them, blending into the coughs and anguished cries of London's despoiled, post-War clean-up and restoration efforts. With a city once again under siege, it has never been easier to hide, but so too has there never been a better opportunity to come into the light. The game, brought to us from the creators of Life Is Strange is coming 2017 to PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
