Reality Pump’s Sacrilegium takes survival horror to modern Romania in 2013
Sacrilegium, the next game from Two Worlds developer Reality Pump is just a little different from its previous fantasy-driven efforts. Taking a break from orcs and wizards, Sacrilegium is a survival horror title set in modern day Romania – and yes, Vlad the Impaler does figure in there somewhere, though Reality Pump is keeping mum on the subject until Gamescom later this year.
The story follows Alex – a 20-year-old Californian college student who is “fully aware of her breathtaking beauty,” though “she never is looking to use it to her advantage” – as she battles vampires whilst traveling the land on an “appropriated police motorbike.” The game promises cinematic combat, quick time events and “ultra-realistic motion capture,” all powered by Reality Pump’s new GRACE 2 engine.
We were told by publisher TopWare that Reality Pump hopes to return survival horror to its PlayStation 1 roots, eschewing modern horror’s tendency for maximum firepower and jump scares in favor of more atmospheric terror. Somewhat paradoxically, the game is also promising a “deadly arsenal will whet all appetites.”
Sacrilegium is slated for a Q2 2013 release on PC, Mac, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U.
