Life is Strange has been a runaway hit this year and has generated a great amount of publicity. The developers behind the game have now revealed more details about their next project, Vampyr.

PlayStation Blog has been speaking to Phillip Moreau, Director of Life is Strange to get additional info. Set in London right after the first World War, Vampyr puts you in the shoes of an actual vampire; go figure. You get turned right at the start of the game and from the new concept art below you can see it has a very eerie, gothic, and dark feel to it.

The reason for the surgical masks is because the game is also set around the same time as the outbreak of the Spanish Flu.

“We wanted to tell a truly gothic story about vampires – a far cry from the glittery vampires you see on TV and in movies nowadays.”

Moreau has described the game as “an action RPG with tight, visceral combat mechanics, exploration, and investigation” where “you’ll have to collect many clues, and talk to many people as you prowl the streets of London.” 

The combat of the game seems to be under close supervision and Dontnod doesn’t want to reveal too much yet, but they have said “there’s more to the combat.”  

Something that definitely piqued my interest is the way they are treating your decisions as a vampire. Whilst exploring the streets of London, you can pick any target you like but “each kill will have consequences on the fragile streets of London”. Moreau also went on to say that “they’ll have an effect on the story, often immediately, and in the long-run.”

Essentially, this gives you the choice of being a good vampire or a totally badass vampire. You will be playing as a doctor called Jonathan Reid who comes from the belief that the supernatural does not exist; so being turned into a vampire really doesn’t sit well with him.

What do you think about these new details for the game? Has the new concept art got you excited? Let me know in the comments below!

Hi guys, The names Toby and I'm from the UK, I'm 26 years old and I've had a huge passion for the gaming world pretty much since birth. My first gaming console was the NES and I've got my parents to thank for that one, since then I have been gaming non stop, mainly on Nintendo consoles and handhelds but I've recently branched out into Sony's world and I'm playing a lot of Steam games. My favourite genre's are probably JRPG's, Platform, Action/Adventure and I love games with a good story, things like The Last Of Us, Ni No Kuni, the Professor Layton series. I'm a massive Zelda nut, always loved the franchise, the characters and the different art styles, not to mention the music. Apart from gaming I enjoy going to the gym, reading and general socialising. Quite a big film buff as well and I love my music and the cinema! That's me in a nutshell anyways, look forward to chatting games with you all! :)
