The Astronauts are developing an insane first-person shooter destined to be a fun mix of Doom and BioShock in a dark fantasy world. Witchfire is coming to Epic Games early access very soon and it is being optimized for NVIDIA DLSS 3 technology, meaning beauty will not come at the price of performance.
Adrian Chmielarz, Creative Director and Co-Founder of The Astronauts explains his perspective on how the DLSS 3 tech will affect Witchfire’s development:
“You start the game, push all graphics options to the max. You enjoy it for a while but then, especially if it’s an action game, you realize that the framerate is king. So you start lowering the quality of visuals in order to achieve that smooth gameplay. DLSS 3 allows the seemingly impossible, high framerate without compromising the visuals. A no-brainer for a game like Witchfire, which is both action and beauty.”
Witchfire pulls players into the war of witches against the Church, where armed witch hunters are tasked to purge the dark fantasy world of evil. These Vatican sorcerers wield an ungodly array of guns and forbidden magic to protect the world from dark powers. Players will be able to fight in open-level combat and experience a campaign unlike any other.
Witchfire is on track for a release to Early Access this year on the Epic Games Store for PC.
