Vostok Games has announced a brand new battle royale game dubbed Fear The Wolves, which is set to be released later this year for both PC and consoles.

The "post-apocalyptic first person shooter battle royale" will be available on PC first as early access before it launches commercially on other platforms. Specific dates weren't mentioned although we will be given more information about the game at the What's Next de Focus press event which will take place in Paris this week.

The game will have a similar structure to other battle royale games, 100 players will be dropped into a "radiation-ravaged Chernobyl" to become the last person standing. Vostok Games aim to set it apart from other games in the market by having dynamically changing weather in a hostile environment which not only puts players against each other but will have "deadly anomalies" that players will have to deal with.

“Across the hostile wastes, everyone is threatened by deadly anomalies and the dynamically-changing weather. Along with a day-night cycle, this constantly forces survivors to adapt their strategies, and players can find protective gear that allows them to explore dangerous off-limit zones. All the while, the howls of mutated creatures echo through the wasteland”

Also teased was "another intense and original game mode" which will "also bring a fierce new twist to the genre".

Are you looking forward to trying out Fear The Wolves? Or do you think developers should stop trying to milk the battle royale genre?
