Ambitious Shooter Otherskin Gets Release Date
Publisher FDG Entertainment and developer Game Atelier have announced the release date for their intriguing third-person shooter, Otherskin. The game is set to launch on PC via Steam on September 2nd, priced at $29.99 or €28.99. Players can also look forward to a 15% launch discount during the first few days.
Otherskin puts players in the shoes of Alex, embarking on a perilous solo mission to the mysterious Planet Vandermire. This world was once home to the extinct Magna race and is the source of “The Blight,” a universe-devouring threat. Alex is the thirteenth volunteer in the “Exodus” program, equipped with an advanced AI suit. Her goal is to survive longer than previous explorers, gather vital data, and help humanity find a way to stop the spreading corruption.
Gameplay: Adapt and Conquer
The core of Otherskin’s gameplay revolves around Alex’s unique ability to absorb “morphs” from alien creatures. This innovative mechanic allows players to gain new combat and movement skills with each encounter, constantly changing how they approach challenges. The high-tech suit itself can also be upgraded, allowing players to enhance weapon power, improve stamina, and boost combat flexibility. Battles will encourage players to fluidly combine firearms with melee attacks, switching between them on the fly to suit the situation.
Players will explore a dangerous yet captivating planet featuring diverse biomes. Every trace of The Blight and every piece of information collected brings Alex closer to unraveling a mystery that holds the fate of the universe in its balance.
What This Means for Players
Otherskin promises a fresh take on the third-person shooter genre, blending intense action with a compelling sci-fi narrative and a truly innovative ability system. With its September 2nd release just around the corner, fans of unique shooters have a new adventure to look forward to. For those eager to get a taste of the action, a demo is currently available on Steam, offering a chance to experience Otherskin’s ambitious mechanics firsthand before the full launch.
