Imagendary Studios, a game development team led by renowned former Blizzard artist Wei Wang, has announced Astropulse: Reincarnation, a the new single-player, sci-fi third-person shooter/RPG set on a war-torn future Earth that aims to be part of a larger transmedia universe.

The developers describe the backstory of Astropulse as such: “Astropulse is an epic science fiction saga spanning billions of years, tracing the impact of a mysterious cosmic energy, known as Astropulse, that arrived on Earth via meteorite 250 million years ago. This force drastically altered Earth’s biological evolution, eventually triggering a global catastrophe that reshaped human civilization. Amidst this fractured world, new species and civilizations emerge, embroiled in a complex struggle for survival against eldritch entities. In this post-apocalyptic landscape, a young man and his loyal companions embark on a quest to defy their seemingly inescapable tragic destiny.”

Wang and the Imagendary team also plan short films, comic books, and graphic novels to flesh out the Astropulse universe. Astropulse: Reincarnation will be built using Unreal Engine 5, and we’ll have more on it as development progresses.
