During IGN Fan Fest, developer The Astronauts released a new gameplay trailer for the fantasy FPS Witchfire. The trailer showcases the game’s many guns, stats and attunement system. Witchfire will launch in Early Access for PC via Epic Games Store in early 2023.
Witchfire details via The Astronauts:
From the creators of Painkiller and Bulletstorm, Witchfire is a first-person shooter set in a grimdark fantasy world in which a deadly war rages between powerful witches and the Church. In this alternate reality, witches are very real and very dangerous—but so is the witch hunter. Armed by Vatican sorcerers, players wield an ungodly array of guns and forbidden magic as they combat dark terrors on behalf of their shadowy benefactors.
Armed with strange weapons and forbidden pagan magic, hunt a powerful witch holding the key to your salvation. Witchfire is a dark fantasy roguelite shooter from the creators of Painkiller, Bulletstorm, and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.
