A new FPS, Scathe, is on the way to us with Scathe offering up another maze to escape from Hell
It is going to be time to go back to Hell soon with the announcement for Scathe that we have here today. This is the next FPS title that we will see on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC out of Kwalee and Damage State. It is still slated as coming soon, but it is something we now have to look forward to. All to take on the bullet hell that Scathe is going to put us through as we try to escape the mazes of the underworld and face off with those demons too. There is quite a bit going on here and we did not even mention the multiplayer aspect of it all too. We are going to need to have some friends out there in these burning lands, are we not?
You can get a bit of a taste for Scathe just a bit lower and it looks like it has been inspired by DOOM fairly heavily. Not that it feels like it is not original, but you can see where some of the basics have come from. It is a bit curious on how it will all function for us to find our way out, especially as our three other friends can drop in and out as they so wish in Scathe. My guess is that it will function more for the gameplay than anything in terms of the story of it all. Have a look at the new bits of it all and get the hype train rolling for it all.
Scathe — Announcement
Scathe is an intense, classic FPS with big guns and even bigger demons. You play as Scathe, Enforcer of the legions of Hell, forged from the earth by the Divine Creator themself. And you, like your fallen kin before you, must prove your worth by navigating a deviously crafted maze, entangled with demonic evil at every twist and turn. So, grab your Hellhammer, lock’n’load, and get ready to unleash your almighty fury!
Use Scathe’s brute strength and extreme speed to purge your way through Hell’s most grotesque abominations, as you search for the Hellstones and defeat the all-powerful Guardians that protect them, deep within the web of punishment before you.
Quick reflexes are the key to surviving the bullet-hell labyrinth that stands between you and your ascension. Rip through the underworld’s deadliest demons and collect the Hellstones in the brutal single-player campaign or drag your friends into gore-filled action in intense drop-in/drop-out online co-op gameplay.
Key Features:
- Escape The Maze — Your task is simple; collect the three Hellstones and get to the center of the maze. Choose your own path by navigating expertly handcrafted zones – each filled with danger around every corner. Collect runes the need to progress, and smite all that stand in your way.
- Bullet Hell — Scathe is not your ordinary FPS… Get ready for bullet-hell where you must dodge countless waves of deadly projectiles. By utilizing Scathe’s incredible speed, you can dash through attacks, leaving you unharmed. Keeping on the move is the key to survival.
- Lock’N’Load — Rip through your enemies with Scathe’s insanely powerful arsenal of weapons, each equipped with a devastating secondary fire. Spew hellfire with the Hot Hatch or slice through endless evil with the buzz saw launcher, Bow Blade.
- Drop In/Drop Out Online Multiplayer — Scathe will support full cross-play online multiplayer where players can drop-in and drop-out at any time. Already lost deep within the labyrinth? Call upon up to three friends to join the fight. Choose your kin wisely, because in Scathe, everyone shares the same pool of lives.
Are you excited to see how Scathe will handle in our hands or will you just be waiting a bit for it all? Do you think it is heavily inspired out there or is that just us taking whatever Hell game and projecting? Will these mazes be procedural or will it be something specific that we will need to navigate out there? Feel free to let us all know down in the comments and then discuss it all. More for Scathe will be on the way, so be sure to keep checking in for all of that and much more.
