Turkish developer Motion Blur has announced Black State - an Unreal Engine 5-powered upcoming third-person action adventure that appears to have been inspired by Metal Gear Solid.
The new PC title packing strong Metal Gear Solid and Portal vibes was announced by the studio yesterday through an official reveal trailer (courtesy of IGN). We've included the announcement video below alongside some key features of the game. We've also included some impressive-looking screenshots. It has to be said, this pre-alpha footage does look pretty impressive, although it's clear that performance needs to be improved. According to the developer, this new trailer opens the door to a photo-realistic single-player third-person shooter. "This trailer is just the tip of the iceberg", Motion Blur's CEO Kadir Demirden said. "We can't wait for players to dive in and experience the full depth and intensity of the game."
In Black State, the player is summoned for a secret mission by a group of scientists known as the Architects. The task at hand? Save captives and uncover the truth behind a cataclysmic event, with each door leading to new and unexpected locations.
Real-Time Door Mechanics: Experience the groundbreaking feature that allows players to transition seamlessly between levels without the interruption of loading screens. Watch as doors open to unexpected and diverse locations, creating a dynamic and nonrepetitive gameplay experience.
