Engine, setting and launch
The game is again built on Unreal Engine 5, with the promise of taking advantage of its latest updates to improve optimization, level loading, and combat consistency. The team claims to have incorporated community feedback to fine-tune the difficulty curve and weapon responsiveness.
The story is set centuries after the previous chapter: the realm of the dead, Umbral, threatens to engulf Axiom. The familiar lamp will allow you to switch between two planes to overcome obstacles, discover alternative routes and finish off enemies, reinforcing those dual reality mechanics that marked the previous installment.
