Reburn, an independent development studio formed by leading talent behind the Metro series and formerly known as 4A Games Ukraine, announced its debut title, La Quimera, a story driven sci-fi shooter set in a futuristic Latin America.

La Quimera takes place across a breathtaking Latin American megalopolis and lush jungle setting, where the player steps into the customizable exosuit of a down-on-their-luck PMC soldier battling against rival factions. The world and narrative of La Quimera is written and created by Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, The Neon Demon) and E.J.A. Warren. Combining Latin American folklore with highly advanced weaponry and technology, La Quimera will be playable in single-player or with up to two friends in co-op - for a total of three players. Fans of the team’s past work will enjoy familiar tense gunplay and intimate storytelling combined with new game experiences through unique and highly detailed environments, characters and weapons.

Reburn’s roster of more than 110 developers’ past work includes gameplay design, art, sound engineering, programming, and more from across the entire Metro series as well as the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Oleksandr Kostiuk serves as project lead on La Quimera. CEO and founder Dmytro Lymar has worked in games since 2006, and previously served as director and CEO of 4A Games Ukraine.

Originally planned for launch today, developer Reburn revealed that La Quimera has suffered a last minute delay, no new release date was set.

Update:

We are still working with Steam on technical issues to get La Quimera live. Hoping to resolve this or have an updated launch time soon to share with everyone.

Thank you for your ongoing patience and support!

To our community,

We’d like to apologize for the unexpected delay in getting La Quimera out to you, our fans and supporters.

Our team here at Reburn has been working hard on the game, and it being our first title as an independent game developer has led to some unforeseen challenges. We are trying our best to address the matters as quickly as possible, while also navigating the circumstances we’re faced with here in the Ukraine. 

We thank you for your patience, your continued support, and your understanding. We’re looking forward to getting La Quimera into player hands as soon as possible. We will communicate more updates through our social channels as soon as we can.
