Strong Painkiller vibes

Most people don’t realize that the original creators ofPainkillerworked onThe Vanishing of Ethan Carter, so the lead in for theWitchfireteaser played like a walking simulator before ripping out a gun and getting all shooty. It was a great reveal and got me super excited. I’ve been waiting for a real sequel toPainkillerever since People Can Fly lost the rights to the name.Bulletstormis great and all, but it doesn’t have the same heavy metal thrills thatPainkillerhad.

There isn’t much else to go on, but I’m ready to see more. The game is so far only announced for PC, but will more than likely end up on consoles at some point.
