Metrodeveloper4A Games Ukrainehas announced a rebranding and revealed its next project, a futuristic first-person shooter calledLa Quimera. The newly unveiled FPS will be the studio’s first non-Metrogame for non-VR systems.
4A Games currently operates two studios, located in Ukraine and Malta. In September 2024, its parent company, Embracer Group, revealed that theMetrodeveloperwas working on “two AAA titles.”
One of these projects has now been announced in the form ofLa Quimera, afirst-person shooterin a futuristic setting. The sci-fi FPS was revealed with a visually striking trailer that’s mostly composed of what appears to be gameplay footage. The two-minute video was shared alongside an announcement that 4A Games Ukraine has rebranded and now goes by Reburn.
La Quimera’s Story Was Penned by the Director of Drive
La Quimeratakes place in a fictional Latin American megalopolis situated in a jungle. Players will take control of desperate soldiers of a currently unspecified private military company warring with other PMCs in the area. The game’s story and lore were co-authored by Danish film director and screenwriter Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for hismodern neo-noir filmDrive, starring Ryan Gosling. E.J.A. Warren is credited as the other lead writer.
La Quimera Will Feature Optional Co-Op
WhileLa Quimerawill be playable solo, it will also support co-op for two or three players. Reburn expects thatMetrofanswill feel right at home with the game’s combination of intense gunplay and emotional storytelling woven into an original setting that marries sci-fi with Latin American folklore. In a prepared statement, Reburn CEO Dmytro Lymar said thatLa Chimera"draws upon our success crafting narrative-driven shooter games for theMetroseries." No release date or even launch window has yet been attached to the project. No console version has been announced, withLa Quimeracurrently only planned to be released on PC via Steam.
It’s possible thatLa Chimerawon’t be ready to hit the market until 2026 at the earliest. Meanwhile, 4A Games has recently confirmed that it’s also working on a new mainline entry in theMetroseries, though that project’s release timeline could be even further out.La Chimera, which is Spanish for “the chimera,” will mark 4A Games' first-ever original IP for non-VR platforms. The company’s only other non-Metrogame to date wasArktika.1, a critically acclaimed first-person shooter that debuted in October 2017 as an Oculus Rift exclusive.
