New details about Judas — a futuristic shooter from the creator of BioShock and System Shock 2

A closed presentation dedicated to the upcoming first-person shooter Judas was held recently, revealing new details. Additionally, several fresh gameplay frames were unveiled.

The game is being developed by Ghost Story Games, founded by Ken Levine, known for BioShock and System Shock 2. In the video below, Geoff Keighley showcases some gameplay footage and shares his impressions.

The main action of Judas unfolds on a massive spaceship, comparable in size to a fully-fledged city. According to the plot, its goal is to transport the last survivors from Earth to Proxima Centauri, but a malfunction occurs on the ship, threatening the lives of all aboard.

The main character, named Judas, must form alliances with different factions, upon which her survival depends. Relations between groups of people are very tense, and sometimes outright hostile. The player will have to decide which faction leader to join. This forms the basis of the story quests.

The setting is designed in a futuristic style. For example, in the game's universe, there is technology capable of reviving people by their molecules. However, after restoration, a person partially loses their memory. This is also played out in the gameplay, allowing the heroine to come back to life after dying.

Among the main features are a high level of replayability thanks to nonlinear gameplay and narrative, as well as deep characters, each with their own motives and backstory. The faction leaders are Nefertiti, Hope, and Tom. Incidentally, they are holograms that have lost their physical bodies but continue to influence other people. The story campaign will take no less than fifteen hours to complete.
