COMBINE IN BIOMUTANT
One of the most interesting new game
announcements to come out of the recent
Gamescom 2017 was THQ Nordic's upcoming
open-world action RPG Biomutant.
What's so special about the game? Well,
it starts with the main character, who is a
firearm-wielding, sword-swinging, eye patchwearing, mutagen-powered anthropomorphic
chinchilla-fox creature. Our furry lead character

Biomutant's open
world features a
diverse landscape
with mountains,
jungles and networks
of tunnels just waiting
to be explored.
lives in a lush post-apocalyptic world ravaged
by a plague, where separate tribes now constantly go to war over the Tree of Life.
Bringing peace to the world of Biomutant
won't be easy, as you'll be tasked with either
uniting those tribes or eliminating them
entirely. There will be other examples of playerdriven choice as well, such as the ability to
customize your character with different robotic
prosthetic enhancements and biological
mutations. These choices can change what
options you'll have during combat, which

blends together a mix of melee and firearms
action similar to titles such as Devil May Cry.
For example, you can grow spiky bars on your
tail for more direct attacks, or gain telekinetic
powers to make combat a bit more elegant.
Crafting unique melee weapons and firearms
will be integral to survival, as will learning new
combat styles from masters spread across
the world map. You'll even be able to make
cosmetic changes to your main character such
as picking its gender, body type, fur color and
more.
Biomutant's open world promises to feature
a diverse landscape to play in, with mountains,
jungles and underground networks of tunnels just waiting to be explored. To help you
traverse the game's wildlands, you can choose
from a variety of vehicles, such as jet skis, paragliders, mounts and even mechs.
If you're thinking that all sounds like a combination of ideas that might be hard to pull
off, the team behind Biomutant is the Swedish
indie studio Experiment 101, whose founder
previously worked on other big, ambitious
open-world games such as 2015's Mad Max
and the Just Cause series.
With what's looking like a unique blend of
characters, story, world and gameplay, this is
a game that you're definitely going to want
to keep on your radar. Biomutant is slated for
release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC
sometime in 2018.
