You'd be forgiven if you forgot about Biomutant. THQ Nordic's and Experiment 101's post-apocalyptic open-world RPG with a zoological twist went under the radar after having its 2019 release delayed. However, the devs are still working on the title and have a brand-new, 9 minutes trailer to prove it:

​

As a refresher, here's the game's premise and feature highlights:

A plague is ruining the land and the Tree-of-Life is bleeding death from its roots. The Tribes stand divided, in need of someone strong enough to unite them or bring them all down...

Gameplay features:

• A NEW TAKE ON 3rd PERSON COMBAT: The martial arts style combat system allows you maximum freedom of movement and agility while mixing shooting, melee and powers from your mutations.
• EVOLVE YOUR GAME-PLAY: You’ll be able to recode your genetic structure to change the way you look and play.
• NEXT LEVEL OF CRAFTING: Mix and match parts to create your own unique single- or double-handed slash, crush and pierce melee weapons.
• GEAR UP FOR ADVENTURE: You have full freedom when equipping your character. Not only when it comes to choosing weapons you created, but also what type of gear you wear.
• SURVIVE IN A VIBRANT OPEN WORLD: You’ll create your own adventure as you journey explore the open world and what lies beneath its surface, by foot, mech, jet-ski, air-balloon and more.

That trailer is a mess, but this game looks absolutely enormous. I really like the style though; it gives me some like Jackie Chan Adventures, Xiaolin Showdown, Samurai Jack, and similar cartoon vibes, and the anthropomorphized animals do not seem to fall into furry territory.

I'd totally play this, if it ever comes out.

how is an RPG with a post-apocalyptic setting supposed to NOT be gritty??

Gee, maybe the apocalypse isn't because of destroying the entire earth but just having humans fuck themselves over so bad that something else takes over. A nice green planet full of color.

Proves the people making the game are already more creative than you. XD

I remember playing this at PAX a few years ago, it was great than and I’m sure will be even better once they are happy with it

I have a problem with this game, and it's semantic...

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Kinda feels like the trailer is just the same few clips of attacks repeating over and over. Looks nice though, I really like the graphics and visual style. Will have to keep an eye out for more gameplay to see if it's something for me, but so far looks like it could be.

 

[StrayGuitarist]

Huh. Although it seems a bit unfocused here, it still definitely looks like something I wanna play the hell out of. I thought it was gonna have a Switch release, too, but it seems they've dropped that. Oh, well. I'll probably pick it up on the Xbone.
