Upcoming Jules Verne and Edgar Rice Burrough scifi mashup genre shooter Nightingale will be out in early access next year.

Nightingale will be playable on PC (Steam and Epic Games) on 24 February 2024. The game features shooting, crafting, building, and open world aspects, with solo and co-op options. Here’s the trailer and description:

“You are stranded beyond our world, cut off by the collapse of the arcane portal network. This catastrophe has left you fighting to survive in a labyrinth of beautiful and dangerous Fae realms.

Your goal: become a skilled Realmwalker, and navigate the web of transdimensional portals. Only then can you discover your way to the magical city of Nightingale, the last known bastion of humanity.”
