Now Playing: Witchfire Trailer | Summer Game Fest 2022
Made in Unreal Engine 4, Witchfire uses the same “photogrammetry” tech from The Vanishing of Ethan Carter to scan 3D real-life objects to be used for digital assets in the new game. The game’s action also revolves around dark fantasy roguelite themes, as you’ll be hunting a powerful witch who holds the key to your survival. You won’t be unarmed though, as you’ll be wielding strange weapons and forbidden pagan magic in your quest.
Witchfire will be entering early access soon according to The Astronauts, and you can wishlist it now on Steam and the Epic Games Store. As for a release date, the studio is aiming to release the game in Q4 2022.
