“Humanity in Crisis, Machine Awakening“ Tech-Augmented Hack-and-Stealth Evotinction is coming to PC
Shanghai, June 10th, 2022 - Today, Astrolabe Games are delighted to announce that the highly-anticipated “Hack-and-Stealth” game, Evotinction, is coming to PC via STEAM® next spring, available for wishlist through the just-launched STEAM® store page now!
Evotinction, selected by Sony Interactive Entertainment for their “China Hero Project”, is developed by the independent studio Spikewave Games, founded by a group of talented and passionate industry veterans who previously worked at 2K Games China.
Set in the near future, Evotinction tells a story that happened in a remote, self-sufficient research facility and community named “HERE”. The AI system controlling the facility got infected by an unknown virus called “RED”, and subsequently went rogue, starting to attack humans. Dr. Liu, head of R&D at HERE and one of the designers of the core system, decided to go back to this lost facility to search for possible survivors while attempting to identify and fix the underlying issue.
Not your traditional protagonist, Dr. Liu, an ordinary researcher who had absolutely zero combat training, will have to infiltrate the facility on his own. Not a specialist in melee combat, nor a slick gunslinger, the doctor is just an average joe when it comes to "combat". However, as a tech-savvy researcher, he is able to hack, disrupt, and manipulate all these rogue AIs to guide himself through this dangerous automated facility.
Long-range Signal Disrupting, Radio & Electromagnetic Jamming, Hologram Illusion, Malware Implant, System Takeover, IFF Spoofing…... Do what you can to avoid any unnecessary encounters and neutralize all threats one by one. Make use of the doctor's full arsenal of gadgets to go deep into the heart of the facility to face the core crisis, uncover the truth, and save humanity.
THIS is the future!
The future is HERE!
From the Devs
“The Spikewave Games team is composed almost entirely of die-hard stealth game fans,” said Gu Xingyan, founder of Spikewave Games. “Ever since we first started working on Evotinction in 2016, we have been committed to exploring a unique near-future dystopian setting that lets us tell a gripping story and explore cool, futuristic tech with the potential to enrich the stealth genre. I think you will agree that Evotinction delivers on that promise.”
“We are very fortunate to have been selected as part of the second batch of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s China Hero Project, and are immensely grateful for all the fantastic support we have received throughout the development of Evotinction.”
“And now, with the help of Perp Games and Astrolabe Games, Evotinction can finally take the world stage. We are extremely happy to welcome players from all over the world to experience our game on PlayStation® and PC.”
