Witchfire is an upcoming first-person shooter video game being developed by Polish independent studio The Astronauts for Microsoft Windows.
Gameplay
Witchfire is to be an action-oriented, skill-based first-person shooter game with no cut scenes.[3][4]
Development and release
During the initial development, beginning towards the end of 2015, the game was being designed as a post-apocalyptic, science fiction survival simulator code-named "Astro Project 2", before turning into a dark fantasy first-person shooter.[5] Witchfire was officially revealed on December 8, 2017, when the first teaser trailer was released at The Game Awards.[6] It is to be released "when it's done".[7]
As of 2019, the development team has nine full members with three contributors.[8] The game is unrelated to the director Adrian Chmielarz's earlier Doom-style Painkiller (2004) and is in some ways actually inspired by From Software's Souls series[9] and Bungie's Destiny.[10] Its art direction inspirations include works of American landscape painters such as Thomas Hill, Albert Bierstadt, and Frederic Edwin Church.[11]
