Metal: Hellsinger brings a brutal rhythm shooter to PC and consoles
The Outsiders and Funcom unveiled a trailer for Metal: Hellsinger, a first person shooter that fuses blistering metal with hellish battles. In this world, players navigate infernal landscapes and push back against endless waves of enemies while the music drives the tempo of every moment, turning combat into a synchronized performance of fire and sound.
The game offers players six distinct weapon types to master, each designed to complement the game’s heavy metal soundtrack and fast-paced action. The soundtrack features vocal performances from renowned metal and hard rock acts, including System of a Down, Trivium, Dark Tranquillity, Soilwork, and Arch Enemy, who contribute tracks that align with different arenas and enemy encounters. The collaboration aims to create a seamless fusion of rhythm and gunplay, enhancing the player’s sense of immersion as rhythm and recoil synchronize with the on-screen chaos.
Additionally, after the PC release, Metal: Hellsinger will support user-created tracks. While the exact implementation details have not been disclosed, an official announcement confirms that fans will be able to add their own songs to the game, potentially offering endless customization for the bullet-fueled concert experience.
Metal: Hellsinger is slated to launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, with immediate inclusion in Game Pass at launch. This means subscribers on compatible platforms will gain day-one access to the title without needing a separate purchase, positioning the game as a notable value proposition for rhythm-driven shooters. Players can anticipate a staggered rollout of performance patches, balance updates, and potential content expansions as post-release support, aligning with current trends in live service gaming and community-driven feedback.
All gameplay visuals and screenshots from Metal: Hellsinger offer a glimpse into the game’s fusion of metal aesthetics, brutal combat, and neon-lit underworlds. The title promises a distinctive blend of shooter mechanics and musical pacing, inviting players to time their shots and reloads to the cadence of headbanging tracks. The end result is designed to feel like an interactive concert where precision, timing, and style matter as much as firepower.
Venture into a realm where bosses roar with the tempo of the music, and each level challenges players to push further while maintaining rhythmic accuracy. The developers emphasize a design philosophy that treats gunplay not merely as a mechanic, but as an expressive art form synchronized with a live metal score. This approach aims to deliver a high-energy experience that appeals to fans of both fast shooters and heavy metal culture, offering a memorable, audio-driven arcade shooter experience aimed at a broad audience in North America and beyond. The game’s blend of aggressive pacing, atmospheric environments, and a legally distinct metal soundtrack builds a strong case for Metal: Hellsinger as a standout title in the rhythm shooter subgenre.
