Best Way To Exorcise A Demon? Bullet To The Face
For those that played The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, you’ll recall an unnerving tale that managed to maintain an exquisite air of mystery all the way until its rather harrowing ending. For those that played Bulletstorm, you’ll remember kicking crazed marauders in the junk, sending them flying into the air and then shooting them to pieces with a rocket-powered drill. Yeah, those games were developed by the same people.

They may be as different as night and day, but it seems that the minds behind both have decided to combine them somewhat with their upcoming project; Witchfire. From the looks of things, we’ll be coming face to face with some disturbing, spectral beings…where we then have the option to blow their heads off with a rifle!
According to an article on Gamespot –
One of the big announcements tonight during The Game Awards was the reveal of a new game from Polish developer The Astronauts. The game is called Witchfire, and it’s described as a dark fantasy shooter. Like the studio’s most recent game, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Witchfire looks absolutely gorgeous. But unlike that game, there is shooting in Witchfire, which the announcement trailer cleverly points out.
The video shows that Witchfire will be a first-person game and reveals that some of the locations you’ll visit are gross places like swamp and a dark, scary mansion. We also see a lot of strange aliens/monsters, while the movement looks to be rapid.
In statement, Chmielarz said Witchfire is still very far away from release. The studio wanted to talk about it so early because it wanted to let fans know that the company is still “alive and kicking.” Right now it is confirmed only for PC, though that doesn’t necessarily mean it wont come to consoles further down the road.
It certainly seems darker in nature, which means we might not be getting Grayson Hunt levels of comedy. Then again, if the enemies are varied enough and the FPS mechanics are fresh, then perhaps this concoction will end up as a real winner?
Be sure to check out the trailer for Witchfire below, as well as out video on the Top 10 Forgotten First Person Shooters. Can you guess where Bulletstorm ranked?
