This marks a challenging beginning for Quimera, a narrative first-person shooter developed by Reburn (formerly known as 4A Games Ukraine, creators of Metro). The game was scheduled to be released on Steam on April 25, 2025. Unfortunately, the launch did not meet expectations, leading to negative reviews and immediate criticism. As a result, the release has been delayed with no new date provided. This unexpected turn of events appears to have taken everyone by surprise.
Initially scheduled for a February announcement with a planned release two months later and accompanied by several trailers, La Quimera, the narrative FPS developed by Reburn (formerly 4A Games Ukraine, creators of Metro), was set to launch on Steam on April 25, 2025. However, the release did not proceed as anticipated. Upon its launch, the game received negative critiques and immediate unfavorable publicity, leading to a postponement without a new release date being announced. This unexpected scenario appeared to catch everyone by surprise… or so it seemed.
Despite this delay, La Quimera remains an ambitious project. Set in a dystopian Latin American setting, the game offers a cooperative experience where teams of three players face off against robotic enemies in meticulously crafted and immersive environments. Designed by a team composed of former veterans from 4A Games, the title benefits from strong artistic direction and an ambitious narrative promise. This additional development time could thus offer Reburn the opportunity to deliver a final product that is much more polished, but isn’t the damage already done?
