Vampyr story trailer

With PAX East under way, Dontnod and Focus Home Interactive have pulled out all the stops to share a deeper look at their upcoming game. In the Vampyr story trailer, fans get a first-hand look at a grim and riveting story where the outcome ultimately depends on player choices. All of it is set to the tune of a chilling rendition of Don’t Fear the Reaper. If the hype wasn’t real before, it’s hard to believe that it isn’t now.

In the Vampyr story trailer viewers step in the shoes of Jonathan Reid, a doctor turned “Ekon” (newborn vampire) must decide if he will feed his bloodlust or help humanity. To up the stakes (eh? EH?!), he must make this decision as 1918 London is taken over with vampire hunters bent on ending the threat that has flooded the streets with blood. Check it out in the video below:

As seen in the Vampyr story trailer above, Dr. Reid has a struggle ahead of him. Thrust into a supernatural world he wanted no part of and does not understand, players must navigate the new dangers in order to find out just what can be done. As in previous Dontnod titles, player choices influence events and ultimately affect the ending of the story. Here is a description of Vampyr for fans who want to know more:

In Vampyr, you play as Jonathan Reid, a doctor in 1918 London newly-turned into a vampire following his return from the Great War. His convictions blown away, Reid discovers the existence of a dark new world where supernatural creatures and secret societies live together in the shadows… and he is now part of this world.

As a newborn vampire shattered by an irrepressible thirst of blood and thrust into a strange new world, Reid attempts to interpret the supernatural in the best way he knows how: rational thinking. However, between ancient societies, mysterious murders and an imminent large-scale vampire hunt, his scientific assurances are challenged like never before. Driven by a personal desire to learn who caused his transformation and why, Jonathan Reid continues working to find a cure to the devastating disease that decimates its citizens.

But doing so, he must confront his nature as a blood-drinker and the terrible temptation to feed on those he swore to protect…

The story trailer and description certainly tells a grim tale with an uncertain path that will sure immerse players in the world. For those interested in playing, Vampyr will be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This title will release on June 5th and is currently available for pre-order.
