Confirmed features include the lack of reloading, a grappling hook, a Berserk-like power-up, and weapons from “different eras.”
Remember Quantum Error developer TeamKill Media’s next game? No, not the sequel Quantum State, but Son and Bone, an ode to old-school shooters. A new gameplay trailer is available with the promise that it’s launching “very, very soon, seriously.” Check out the mayhem below.
While it has plenty of new dinosaur variants and weapons, the trailer also confirms aliens. It’s unknown if they’re on the side of protagonist Sheriff Sam Judge since he straight up executes one, but another scene sees calling down the mothership’s laser to obliterate some dinos. Either way, it feels like some Serious Sam splashed in with Turok.
Other new details include the lack of reloading a la Doom and Quake and weapons from different eras. There’s a Berserk-like power-up for temporarily one-shot-killing enemies with punches and a grappling hook, which looks about as fluid as you’d expect.
Son and Bone is coming to PS5 this year. Perhaps its release date will be announced at Gamescom from August 21st to 25? Time will tell, so stay tuned for more details.
