The PC Gaming Show took place over the weekend, and brought with it some interesting new games from across the big-budget and indie scenes. A few indie titles managed to sneak their way into the hearts of many gamers, but one shooter really stood out to us personally: the retro first-person shooter, Prodeus, developed by Bounding Box Software and published by Humble Games. The game is only listed to arrive sometime in 2020, but fans of the old-school styled arena shooter might be very pleased with this unique new entry.

Prodeus unmistakably lifts inspiration from two popular retro shooters: Quake and Doom. However, what makes it unique is its seamless blend of pixel sprites and models in full 3D environments. It sounds jarring, but Prodeus has somehow managed to make both dimensions feel oddly cohesive, charming, and respectful to the aforementioned founding fathers of the fast and bloody arena-based shooter. The game is currently scheduled to arrive on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch sometime this year. For fans of DOOM and those thirsting for more blood-soaked, over-the-top mayhem, this one is right up your alley.
The PC Gaming Show revealed a short new trailer to shine a light on the game:
Prodeus is the first person shooter of old, re-imagined using modern rendering techniques. It reaches the quality you expect from a AAA experience while adhering to some of the aesthetic technical limits of older hardware.
Our Art Style:
