Reburn, the Ukrainian studio formerly known as 4A Games Ukraine, has officially announced its upcoming title: La Quimera, a narrative-driven sci-fi shooter set in a futuristic Latin American metropolis and its surrounding jungles.
The game’s storyline is co-created by filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, The Neon Demon) and writer E.J.A. Warren. Players will assume the role of a private military company (PMC) operative, equipped with customizable exoskeletons and advanced weaponry, engaging in battles against rival factions. La Quimera offers both single-player and cooperative gameplay for up to three players.
Dmytro Lymar, founder and CEO of Reburn, expressed enthusiasm about the project:
“Reburn is proud to introduce La Quimera, which draws upon our success crafting narrative-driven shooter games for the Metro series. We look forward to sharing this mysterious new world with players and hope they revel in suiting up to join the fight.”
The game is set in the year 2064, where traditional nation-states have collapsed, giving rise to microstates that rely heavily on mercenary forces. This backdrop sets the stage for players to navigate a world reshaped by decades of disaster and conflict.
Reburn has announced that La Quimera will enter a closed beta test on April 12, 2025, offering selected players a 24-hour window to experience a key mid-game mission. The full release is scheduled for April 25, 2025, and the game will be available on PC via Steam.
The development team comprises over 110 developers, including veterans from the Metro series and the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. Oleksandr Kostiuk, who previously served as game designer for Metro Exodus, is the project lead for La Quimera.
Community anticipation is high, with fans expressing enthusiasm for Reburn’s new direction. Discussions on gaming forums highlight excitement about the game’s setting and cooperative gameplay features.
La Quimera is currently available for wishlisting on Steam. While the initial release is confirmed for PC, plans for console versions have not been specified at this time.
