A fresh gameplay clip for Forest Reigns surfaced online, offering the first extended look at the new shooter from VG Entertainment Studio. The studio, once known as Vostok Games, was founded by the developers behind the original Stalker trilogy. The video captures a sense of the game’s mood, design philosophy, and technical ambitions as the team shows off early gameplay footage and residue of the studio’s distinctive heritage.
The eight-minute video presents a single mission tackled in three distinct styles. In the direct approach, the protagonist charges into combat, delivering direct engagement with enemies. In the stealth path, players slip through shadows and use cover to avoid notice. In the exploration route, attention shifts to route finding as players map bypasses, test unconventional paths, and exploit the environment to outmaneuver opponents.
Forest Reigns is designed as a single-player first-person shooter that blends survival components and role-playing elements. The setting is a post-apocalyptic Paris overrun by mutated wildlife and aggressively mutated flora. The cityscape features ruined landmarks, overgrown streets, and scarce resources that drive tactical decision making. The game aims to deliver tense, atmospheric moments with a focus on player choice and meaningful consequences.
Release is planned for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, although specific launch dates have not been announced.
There are playful crossovers rumored, linking Shrek with the universes of The Simpsons and Miyazaki cartoons. While not confirmed, these ideas illustrate the fan driven curiosity that surrounds Forest Reigns as supporters imagine humorous in-game jokes, tie-ins, and easter eggs.
