The upcoming vampiric role-playing game coming from DONTNOD Entertainment looks to carry a bounty of brutal on its shoulders. To say the title is a departure from their 2015 episodic adventure Life is Strange would be an understatement. We already knew that Vampyr was going to bring the pain, but the latest trailer has taken things up a notch.

In the new video, we see protagonist Jonathan Reid struggle with succumbing to his thirst as a Vampyr and hunting down the very people that he wants to heal. Unfortunately, the blood-sucking instincts take control more than Reid would like, which leads to complete brutality. Essentially, it shows Jonathan, as the title states, “Becoming the Monster.” Check it out for yourself in the video below:

For those who don’t know too much about the upcoming RPG, here’s a bit of the game’s description:

Vampyr, the upcoming action-RPG from DONTNOD Entertainment, explores tortured protagonist Dr. Jonathan Reid’s growth in power through savage combat gameplay in today’s Becoming the Monster gameplay trailer. By sacrificing the very citizens Reid swore to protect, players will learn and evolve powerful vampire abilities in their struggle to defeat London’s deadly foes. Vampyr releases June 5 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with preorders now available.

In Vampyr, the greatest source of XP to learn and enhance abilities comes from the blood of London’s citizens, who Dr. Jonathan Reid has set out to save from the epidemic sweeping through the city. The question is less “Do I kill?” than “Who do I kill?” Investigating citizens’ lives will allow Reid to decide who is more ‘deserving’ of sacrifice – or he can simply give in to his hunger and treat the mortals as blood bags. Either way, killing certain citizens will have a greater impact on the local ecosystem than others, while simply killing too many may cause an entire district to collapse.

After draining the blood of his victims, Reid can learn and evolve powerful combat abilities. Close combat abilities allow Reid to close gaps quickly, pouncing from afar before slashing with deadly claws, while others such as Bloodspear allow him to deal damage from a distance. At the higher levels of power, some abilities are feared by even the vampires themselves. Abyss allows Reid to unleash the shadows from within, while Rage targets and strikes entire groups of enemies with a terrible fury. Learning and evolving these abilities will aid in the doctor’s quest to save London – but at what cost?”

Vampyr is set to arrive on June 5th for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Keep it tuned to Don’t Feed the Gamers as this story develops, and for other gaming news going on right now, check out the following:
