The Astronauts has released the first 4K official screenshots for its upcoming action shooter, Witchfire. Witchfire was one of the highlights of last night’s The Video Games Awards event. Its announcement trailer initially gave the impression of a walking sim. And then out of nowhere, the game turned into a fast-paced shooter.
Witchfire is inspired by Painkiller and Bulletstorm and is still at an early stage. The game will be using photogrammetry and will be powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine 4.
These first screenshots showcase amazing visuals and we are certain that the final game will look just as glorious. After all, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter looked and ran incredibly well on the PC.
The Astronauts will reveal more details about this shooter in 2018, so stay tuned for more. Until then, enjoy the screenshots!

They last game “The Vanishing of Ethan Carter” was a weakling.
This will be just a tech demo, no where near to Painkiller
Ethan Carter was a great game. Painkiller on the other hand…
Was a even better game, it replaced doom 3 for me.
Replaced DOOM 3??? LOL, enough said
Painkiller was a masterpiece of his genre no doubt, i’m not sure we’re talking about the same game.
Agreed. Painkiller was amazing. The old school gameplay was great, but the thing that caught my attention were the physics.
Ethan Carter was FAR from “weakling”.
Superb.
Glad to see their photogrammetry tech is being used again.

Looks like some of shadow warrior mechanics have made it in there too.
this and shadow warrior 2 has amazingly immersive enviroments.
Glad to see the Astronauts moving towards more action and less walking simulator style gameplay. The first game looked phenomenal because of photogrammetry so I’m really happy to see it being used again.
