Chinese developer Invercity Game Works has unveiled a new survival action game titled Project Retrograde: The Becoming with a trailer published on IGN's YouTube channel.
The game looks heavily inspired by CAPCOM's survival horror franchise Resident Evil. Perhaps a little too much, in fact. Anyway, it's being developed for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X, and there's no public release window yet.
The official website offers a basic overview of what players will find in Project Retrograde: The Becoming:
In 1995, humanity's last hope—Project Retrograde—collapsed as the underground world was shattered by the ancient parasite L.U.C.A. Play as a bounty hunter symbiotic with parasite, using its dangerous power to save the world, even if it consumes you.
Infected by L.U.C.A, you survive and gain the ability to absorb combat memories from other hosts. Unlock parasitic skills, become a Kung Fu master or the Baba Yaga, and experience adrenaline-fueled combat!
Delve into the post-apocalyptic realm filled with retro technology. Manipulate the LUX system to alter underground weather, or climb towers to reach unknown regions and uncover the truth buried for years.
