›Story
Year 2064. The majority of nation states have become extinct. A series of natural and human-caused catastrophes in the 2030s and 2040s triggered the collapse of global systems, led to the fragmentation of human communities. The political entities in this new world are microstates and even amidst the current inter-state and corporate conflicts, typically see no point in maintaining their own armies, having to rely on mercenary
forces — the "golden age" of private military companies, so called PMCs, has arrived.
As PMC operatives, you’ll take on intense high-risk campaign in a dystopian world of
future Latin America across a breathtaking megalopolis and lush jungle combining
highly advanced weaponry and technology battling against rival factions.

Gameplay
La Quimera is a narrative-driven first-person shooter with optional co-op gameplay where strategic teamwork, combat abilities, and resource sharing will be necessary to overcome challenges. The exoskeleton is customizable to suit different playstyles and enemy encounters. Enemies are diverse and scattered as distinct enemy factions, from aggressive raiders to heavily armored elites. The player has a personal AI assistant for strategic guidance and support in combat and exploration.
Story
The game is set in the year 2064 where traditional nation-states have all but vanished, replaced by fragmented microstates struggling to survive in a world reshaped by decades of disaster. A cascade of natural and man-made catastrophes in the 2030s and 2040s shattered global stability, dismantling governments and severing long-standing systems of power with small political entities and powerful corporations taking control. The players control PMC operatives in this setting in an unspecified region of Latin America.
Development
Reburn, formerly known as 4A Games Ukraine, announced La Quimera in February 2025. The game's story was co-created by filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn, known for Drive. It was revealed that Reburn and 4A Games Malta have been separate companies since 2014, despite co-developing Metro Exodus. 4A Malta, now owned by Embracer Group, retains the 4A name and trademark while Reburn is forging its own path. The game uses a modified Unreal Engine 4 and lasts around 5 hours.
