As 2025 winds down and we glance in the direction of the way forward for gaming, a newly-announced FPS caught my consideration in an enormous means after its reveal earlier this week.
It’s referred to as Supreme Experiment, and it has some fairly acquainted tropes. Humanity escaped Earth, evil robots took over, et cetera. However the trailer and screenshots proven to this point actually have me itching to seek out out and see extra, as a result of I feel it seems like one thing fairly totally different than the way in which this form of recreation has been offered earlier than.
“It has been a century since humanity retreated into the Spire Cities—towers stretching eight kilometers into the sky, excessive above the poisonous clouds,” the outline reads. “Down on the floor, fleets of clever machines have been left to keep up the world and provide the towers with every thing we wanted. Since then, every thing ran by itself. Nobody remembers the way it works anymore. Town above the clouds is the one world we all know.”
Sounds beautiful! A metropolis within the sky? What might go unsuitable? Man, I really like BioShock Infinite. AI and robots evolving to the purpose of destruction? It’s been completed earlier than and it’s been completed just lately (hey ARC Raiders and Horizon Zero Daybreak, and many others.), and as you might anticipate, issues don’t go in accordance with plan on this world and all of it begins to get fairly bizarre down on Earth. However after a better look, the texture and vibe presents me with one thing that perks me up.
“However in the future, the circulation of assets merely… stopped,” it continues. “The machines fell silent. No sign. No rationalization. Starvation and chilly are creeping up the towers. Somebody has to go down there and discover out what occurred. Nobody alive has ever completed it earlier than. You’re the volunteer. However the world ready beneath is not what we imagined. Not even shut.”
That world beneath is the place I’m drawn, as a result of the artwork type of what has turn out to be of the robots may be very distinctive and unsettling. Because it exhibits within the reveal trailer and a number of the photographs launched to this point, the robots have taken on the type of dwelling issues like animals and, extra disturbingly, people.
The trailer is atmospheric and unnerving. If the gameplay can match it, then this recreation could also be one thing to regulate. On Steam, the sport is tagged as an “Immersive Sim” FPS, Motion-Journey, and Atmospheric. And yeah, I can see that.
It’s robust to get too enthusiastic about Supreme Experiment with out seeing any gameplay in any respect simply but, however man, I’m actually loving the look of it to this point. It’s presently acquired no launch window scheduled, so for now, let’s all regulate this one as we head into 2026 and past as a result of I feel it’s acquired the makings of one thing that could possibly be particular.
For now, let’s simply hope the idea of this recreation stays as artwork and doesn’t translate too closely into what now we have occurring in our actual world as we speak.
