Here’s hoping we can play it soon
Biomutantcaught our eyethree years ago, with ambitious promises of being an open world, post apocalyptic action-RPG with a mutating protagonist who knows kung fu. Now it’s got a release date of May 25th, at which point we’ll know which of those ambitions survived.
The game’s creative director Stefan Ljungqvist spoke to Colm about the game last year, talking through its world and its systems:

And, in fairness, it sounds like a lot of that ambition survived. It had the airships, the mutating protagonist, the ranged and kung fu combat. It also had submarines, hang-gliding, climbing, and loads more. Breath Of The Wild definitely seems a fair point of comparison, and Ljungqvist compared it to Zelda but with more emphasis on combat.
I’m keen to play it. It’s not that often that there’s a game with the scale and apparent budget of Biomutant that looks so quirky, or which isn’t part of an existing series. I’m hoping that its systems and open world design are as interesting as its setting.
