Sci-fi horror FPS with a retro-future aesthetic, DEEPEST FEAR, gets new gameplay trailer

Variable State has released the Future Games Summer Show 2025 gameplay trailer for DEEPEST FEAR. DEEPEST FEAR is a sci-fi horror FPS with a retro-future aesthetic that looks really cool. So, make sure to watch its new trailer.

In DEEPEST FEAR, you’ll assume the role of Dr. Danni Carrol. Players will have to fight their way to the heart of a secret project masterminded by their estranged father. They’ll also have to uncover mysteries both deeply personal and terrifying in their implications.

One of the best features of DEEPEST FEAR is its real-time water effects. Strange monsters can appear out of any water nearby, and the area around you can flood at any moment. The rising water can create strong currents that pull you away, making things even more dangerous.

In a way, this mechanic reminded me of Hydrophobia: Prophecy. This was a game that came out in 2011 and took advantage of PhysX. And, even to this date, it has water physics that a lot of triple-A games cannot match.

As said, DEEPEST FEAR is inspired by a lot of classic films. Some of them are The Abyss, The Thing, The Fly, and Total Recall. It also draws inspiration from classic games such as Metroid Prime, Half-Life 2, System Shock 2, and Dead Space.

To be honest, I kind of look forward to this FPS. Yes, this isn’t a triple-A game. However, it has a cool art style and concept. It also reminds me of a lot of double-A FPS games that came out in the 00s. I just hope it will have a good story to tell, and that it won’t get boring in a couple of hours.

Sadly, there is still no ETA for when the game will come out. If I had to guess, I’d say we’re looking at a late 2026 or a 2027 game. But that’s just an assumption.

Enjoy the trailer and stay tuned for more!
