We have good news for Planet of the Apes fans, as developer Imaginati Studios has announces Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier. The game is set between the events of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes, and is set to launch this fall for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
According to IGN, the game “centres around a breakaway faction of apes who take refuge in the Rocky Mountains from the ongoing human-ape war, but are forced to descend into a human-owned valley as Winter draws in and food depletes. The story takes its cue from the films, aiming for a morally ambiguous take on the ensuing conflict, with no black and white decisions or clear heroes and villains. Players will take control of both humans and apes – who, because of the game’s standalone story and cast, can live or die based on your decisions – with multiple endings possible depending on their actions on both sides.”
Imaginati founder Martin Alltimes said that “The pace of the storytelling is just super-intense compared to any of these other games. There’s no opening and closing drawers, no searching through inventories. It’s all about you making choices that affect relationships with other characters and, in the long term, how those relationships play out, and how the story plays out. It’s a creative risk, but when we talked to everyone on the team, they really believed in it. It would have been very easy for us to copy what had gone before.”
To go along with the announcement is a gameplay trailer showing some of the game off, which you can watch below.
