After more than five years since it was first announced back at The Game Awards 2017, and a couple of delays, The Astronauts’ dark fantasy shooter Witchfire will finally enter Early Access on the Epic Games Store this Fall. The game’s September 20 release date accompanies a new trailer released during Summer Game Fest.

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, also known as a “preyer”. 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.

The team’s main focus for the Early Access launch is to present a polished and atmospheric gameplay experience, with further story features getting added as Witchfire approaches full release.

“The last few trailers were very combat focused and I think gave the wrong impression that Witchfire is a non-stop action fest. It is not,” explains Adrian Chmielarz, Creative Director and Co-Founder of The Astronauts. “Sure, some fights will be incredibly intense, but there are also periods of quiet exploration, planning, thinking. It is much closer to Souls in that regard rather than, say, Doom. So that’s why the beginning of this new trailer is a little slower. We might slow down even more when there’s finally time for the launch trailer.”
