Many game developers have started making RPG games, and it is slowly becoming one of the most popular genres in gaming. The reason why RPG games are so popular is just that they have the ability to keep players engaged with a constant stream of challenges as well as milestones to reach.

Experiment 101 is a Swedish game development studio who has the same strategy with their new game Biomutant, which is their first big project. The ongoing project is also Co-founded by Stefan Ljungqvist, former studio art, and game director and mostly known for his work on Mad Max and Just Cause series.

In this article, we will go through everything we know about the new release and some popular rumors about this upcoming game.

Release Date

Right from the start, we all want to know the initial release date. However, as this game is their first big project, it was expected to have some delays in the process. The game was scheduled for 2018 than for 2019, then “Summer 2019”. It seems like they do not know the exact release date for Biomutant, but with the recent leak, we might be able to see the game released by the end of July this year.

Additionally, this is a good date to release Biomutant as it does not go to compete with all the major game releases. At that time we only have Madden NFL 20 coming soon, which is in a different genre and Wolfenstein Youngblood. Biomutant will be available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The rumors say that the game will be available on the Epic Games Store.

Story

It seems like game developers are catching some trend with creating apocalyptic worlds, which is the same case in Biomutant. It is set in an environmentally diverse world that is on the edge of breaking since the Tree of Life which is the source of all living creatures is infected by poisonous oil that is leaking upwards from the ground. There are six tribes of creatures that have the same quest which is finding a way to save the tree meaning survival of all living beings.

The interesting thing is that it will be up to the player to decide which path to take by choosing different options throughout the game. Players actions will determine if the Tree survives or not.

Experiment 101 tried to create a possibility for the players choosing their own destiny. So, no matter what side you choose, you will have different quests in order to achieve your goal.

Tribes

The tribes are also a huge part of this game. Clearly, this game is infused with Kung Fu and Asian Mythology and each tribe have their own fighting style and outfits. They also tried to create flexibility for the players even in the gameplay. It will be up to you to determine how you will interact with different tribes. You can either partner up and make alliances or go to war with them.

Characters

Biomutant promises to offer a wide range of different creatures that are beautifully designed and will be alongside you to accomplish your quest. All the characters have their unique and striking design and it will be amazing to play with them.

This game also offers character customization which is a positive thing and it will allow you to add your own personal touch. It seems like Experiment 101 tried to give all the freedom to the players. A fair comparison would be like the recent MLB The Show 19, where your baseball expert picks start before you get into the field, when you can customize your pitcher.

In Biomutant you can do this but instead of going to the World Series, you will be fighting other mutants in an open world. You will be able to modify some of the character’s physical appearance, such as gender, height, fur color, fur type, etc.

Combat

As we mentioned earlier, this game is made with Kung Fu in mind and when it comes to combat, you can use both close and long-range attacks in order to defeat your enemies. You will have the chance to find different parts throughout the game which can be used to craft different weapons. It is rumored that Biomutant will have more than 500,000 possible weapon combinations that players can use.

This is also another option for personal customization as Ljungqvist explains, “The aim is to provide as much freedom and as many options as possible when it comes to weapon crafting, both in terms of the “types” of weapons you can craft – a two-handed, single-handed or dual-wielding weapon – and its style, such as a slashing, crushing or piercing.”

Verdict

With all the details we know, it seems like this game will turn out to be amazing and very fun to play. However, Experiment 101 might be too ambitious with this project and all its features, which can lead to major game bugs and bad experience. We can only hope that the game will be as fun to play as they described it.
