Fear the Wolves is a Post-Apocalyptic Battle Royale from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Dev Vostok Games

Fear the Wolves is the latest game attempting to cash-in on the FPS Battle Royale genre which has taken over thanks to PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds.

In development for several months, Focus Home Interactive and Vostok Games,  the dev team behind the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise, chose the annual press event "Le What's Next de Focus" taking place in Paris on February 7-8, to unveil Fear The Wolves, the post-apocalyptic First Person Shooter Battle Royale. Releasing in 2018, the game will offer a new and original take on the growing Battle Royale scene.

Fear the Wolves drops players, in squads or as lone wolves, into the oppressive environments of a radiation-ravaged Chernobyl. The classic Battle Royale mode forces them to fight to be the last man standing out of 100 fighters which is basically the same premise as PUBG except for the whole groups bit. Another intense and original game mode will also bring a "fierce new twist" to the genre, but we don't know a whole lot about that mode just yet.

To secure the top spot, players will need to worry about more than just other survivors. Across the hostile wastes, everyone is threatened by deadly anomalies and the dynamically-changing weather. Along with a day-night cycle, this constantly forces survivors to adapt their strategies, and players can find protective gear that allows them to explore dangerous off-limit zones. All the while, the howls of mutated creatures echo through the wasteland. Naturally, of course. This is Chernobyl we're talking about.

More details on Fear the Wolves will be unveiled to attendees at the "What's Next de Focus" press event in Paris.

Fear the Wolves will be coming to PC and Consoles in 2018. At this point, specific platforms are still unkown, but Early Access begins this year on PC.
