Late last month, La Quimera did not launch on its promised release date (April 26). At the time, the game's development team—Reburn—sent out an apology (via Discord), but their short statement did not delve into too much explanatory detail. Industry watchdogs proposed revised launch windows; potentially later on in 2025. Apparently, last month's "version 1.0" review code was not well received—content and performance-wise. Additionally, a mid-month closed beta program was reportedly nixed within 24 hours of kicking off—early community feedback suggests participants experiencing a myriad of problems. As promised during non-launch week, Reburn has provided a more comprehensive update about forward progress—in the renewed form of La Quimera; available now in Early Access.

Within the title's rebooted Steam page, Reburn outlines a revised release schedule (subject to change): "La Quimera, our narrative-driven sci-fi FPS, is now live on Steam in Early Access!..We plan to remain in Early Access for up to 18 months. This timeline may adjust based on feedback and the pace of development, but our goal is to deliver a fully polished experience within that timeframe...The Early Access version currently includes the first four levels of the campaign, featuring fully integrated narrative and gameplay elements. It offers approximately five hours of story-driven content, designed to demonstrate the core experience we are building toward. The current build is stable and fully playable, though bugs and balance adjustments are expected as we continue refinement." Interested parties can give this "still in progress" iteration a try; Steam early access pricing is $29.99.




Reburn's video description states: "La Quimera is now available on PC via Steam in Early Access. Enter a brand new adventure from developer Reburn, with a world and narrative written by Nicolas Winding Refn and E.J.A. Warren. Utilize your exosuit and weapons to turn the tide of battle across the Latin American megalopolis of Nuevo Caracas and beyond.


In a Steam event update, the developers (as a whole) stated: "this Early Access release marks a major step for our team at Reburn. Your feedback will help us shape the rest of the journey: more missions, stronger narrative integration, refined combat, and deeper co-op play. Thank you for your support—we can't wait to see you in Nuevo Caracas."

$30 to test their product last seen to be buggy and unoptimized and free, some people seem to not be happy about it.

Cut scenes looked 1/2 baked too, kinda soulless.

Ooh yes soulless Unreal engine of course, how ever gameplay looked ok but as i say about most games at this stage they should make the game they visioned and not this BS trying to make everyone happy crap as it's never possible.
 
Wait, is the company's name actually "Reburn"
like Re:burn or Re-burn? :wtf:

Yes, just "Reburn", a new independent studio by the same people who previously worked at 4A Games Ukraine.

Unfortunately, this game does not seem to be in a very good shape right now. I'd recommend people who are interested in it to wait for a while longer to see how the situation develops, and if the studio will ultimately be able to complete the project.
