Remember Me developer Dontnod has revealed its next game Vampyr, an upcoming horror RPG published by Focus Home Interactive.

The game was revealed in a tweet by Focus Home Interactive's UK PR agency Dead Good Media featuring the first piece of artwork.

Update:

The game is set just after World War One and players will take on the role of a doctor. He returns home while the Spanish Flu is going around, and is bitten by one of his patients. That bite transforms this doctor into a vampire.

Apparently the Y in the name relates to the choices in the game where the doctor faces moral quandaries as his doctor side tries to heal, while his vampire nature wants to kill and feed. The tag line for Vampyr is ‘Take blood. Save a life’. Choices won’t be clear cut with DONTNOD either. Vampyr also sees DONTNOD trying to start up a second development team within the studio so more projects can be worked on. Vampyr is still in early development so no release date has yet been confirmed.

DONTNOD are currently in the process of releasing Life Is Strange.

Seems like they're already ramping up production of a new game.

I hope Life is Strange works out for them.

Silky · Jan 20, 2015

Valkyr?

TheMoon · Jan 20, 2015

Yes, please?

Heyt · Jan 20, 2015

Is it a new IP or a transmedia product? the "The role playing game" line confuses me.

I'm interested. Their Neo-Paris aesthetic was good. Eager to see what world they'll craft for this.

Wereroku · Jan 20, 2015

I am looking forward to their next game but man this is a stupid title. Maybe their next game will be Wyrwulf.

I really enjoyed Remember Me and I will support them with Life is Strange. Glad they can keep working on new project. This team must be supported !

EastOfEden · Jan 20, 2015

If this is even vaguely VTMB-esque I'm in.

Alasfree · Jan 20, 2015

Well, i hope that VTMB is an inspiration for this.

Google first result is a German 1932 film that's part of the criterion collection. I doubt this is related to that.

Amir0x · Jan 20, 2015

ok Dontnod. Remember Me was an interesting diversion, and juries still out on Life is strange.

But I'm game.

It's spelled like that due to this or this or this.

SerTapTap · Jan 20, 2015

Glad they landed on their feet after Remember Me. I really enjoyed a lot of the ideas in Remember Me but they clearly shouldn't be making games with generic AAA gameplay. The world, music and to an extent the story of Remember Me were all great, the combat was dreadful. It'd be cool if they somehow expanded on memory remixes but those are pretty specialized. Still my favorite part of Remember Me gameplay-wise

mclem · Jan 20, 2015

Clearly a port.

Mifec · Jan 20, 2015

Let's hope it's not as disgustingly bad as Remember Me.

Death Metalist · Jan 20, 2015

Hmm, interesting. I'm intruiged, we need more horror vampire games. Last survival horror game I played that featured vampires was Countdown Vampires and that was on PS1.

DieH@rd · Jan 20, 2015

Interesting. Hopefully they will unveil it soon.

Akzel · Jan 20, 2015

Interesting .. really I'll check it out.

RPG_Fanatic · Jan 20, 2015

They have my curiosity, but I'll need to learn more about this first.

It's not "lol we're so different" marketing spelling. "Vampyre" is the first recorded English spelling of the word (Oxford Dictionary). I don't know why the final "e" is sometimes dropped. Maybe it is supposed to be closer to German and other languages, where the word is spelled without an "e" at the end.

Crossing Eden · Jan 20, 2015

They have my curiosity due to the European aesthetic. Hope it's not crossgen, and I hate that title.

Bishop89 · Jan 20, 2015

they have my attention

Nabs · Jan 20, 2015

I'm down.

Pooya · Jan 20, 2015

FOCUS Int. does console games? I only know of their name from obscure budget PC games, like Wargame.

drotahorror · Jan 20, 2015

I'm interested.

Hope it's action-rpg'ish and not turn based.

DieH@rd · Jan 20, 2015

It's little strange to see vampire with a utility belt.

DrROBschiz · Jan 20, 2015

PC only i take it?

Fantastapotamus · Jan 20, 2015

I'll take anything that reminds me of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

They do stuff like Mars Warlogs and Of Orcs and Men and Magrunner, it's pretty hit or miss. Wargame is by far their best published stuff.

Remember Me wasn't disgustingly bad in any sense. At worst it was a somewhat unnoteworthy, mediocre game set in a cool dystopian world with some cool ideas that were never quite developed to their full potential. + a bangin' OST. There are far worse games out there that actually deserve "disgustingly bad" title way more than Remember Me.

MikeDown · Jan 20, 2015

ehhhhh, vampyrs aren't my thing

care to explain?

DieH@rd · Jan 20, 2015

I have a feeling this will be some iPad-friendly turn based RPG that will also come out on PC&Consoles. If it was anything more ambitious, they would not announce it like this.

Focus Interactive is like super B-Tier windows Pub. It's not uncommon. Also they've only done one mobile game and it was for Android so I think this is PC only for now.

Samir Sedlar · Jan 20, 2015

AT LAST ................., A Vampire themed game.

DontNod did good with Remember Me, it wasn't a perfect title but they had good things going on, and now I'm really excited about Vampyr, though I'll keep my hopes in check, It is an RPG and published by a not so famous publisher.

Hope we can hear more soon enough.

immortal-joe · Jan 20, 2015

Yep, interested to know more. Good luck, here's hoping for a kickass RPG.

VibratingDonkey · Jan 20, 2015

Oh no. The Vampire Bloodlines bar has been invoked. Even has that "based on this other thing" subtitle. Surely this will be sucked?

Stone Ocean · Jan 20, 2015

Hmm, an RPG? Hopefully it's turn based, Remember Me had a great setting and aesthetics but bloody hell was it boring, so maybe they can make something turn based work.

martino · Jan 20, 2015

Caffeine · Jan 20, 2015

I have been waiting for a current vampire game

JJD · Jan 20, 2015

We need more horror RPGs...I can only hope this is as good as Shadow Hearts.

HORRORSHØW · Jan 20, 2015

in! looks like it has a victorian-goth setting, which is quickly becoming saturated.

Uthred · Jan 20, 2015

I dont know why but every time I come across it the "vampyr" spelling just makes me sigh and roll my eyes

chrominance · Jan 20, 2015

Less interested in this than in the other things DONTNOD has developed, but I'm curious to see how Vampyr turns out. If I remember correctly, Remember Me was originally supposed to be much more RPG-like, so maybe a bunch of those abandoned gameplay ideas are moving to this title?

Pilgrimzero · Jan 20, 2015

Just finished Bloodlines for the 3rd time the other day. (Tremere, Malk, Tory).

Already started again as a Gangrel but decided to give Redemption (haven't played it in a long long time) a spin instead.

Hopefully this new game will be akin to Bloodlines, but I doubt it. Fo one it won't have the clans and setting so thats a negative IMO.

Kinda thinking the same. Remember Me had such incredible world building, but their systems need to be more than an unpolished first idea concept.

I imagine it'll follow in the footsteps of Styx and be a downloadable title for the PC/PS4/X1.

Samir Sedlar · Jan 20, 2015

I hope this doesn't turn out like ''Dark'' or ''The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing''

I wold love something like ''Vampire The Masquerade Redemption''

Innolis · Jan 20, 2015

I don't see any glitter on the SS, I'm game.
