The debut game from former Doom Eternal and Witcher 3 devs is a co-op horror shooter with big Kojima energy

Fun Dog Studios, a new developer whose collective credits include The Witcher 3, Doom Eternal, and Horizon Zero Dawn, has revealed a co-op horror game called The Forever Winter, and to me it looks like what would happen if Hideo Kojima made a looter shooter.

The cinematic reveal trailer is some of the wildest stuff I've seen in some time, an explosive, dystopian portrait of men scavenging for survival amid a perpetual war between superpowered machines and biomechanical minions. I suppose it could be compared to a lot of movies, TV shows, and games with existential themes tied to the rapid advancement of high-technology and AI, but Metal Gear Solid 4 and Zone of the Enders were quick to my mind watching the trailer for The Forever Winter. I mean, there's a point in the trailer where a giant mecha seemingly poops out a bunch of zombie-like soldiers, and if that ain't Kojima, I don't know what is.
