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. [5] 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. [5]
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. [4] It was revealed that Reburn and 4A Games Malta have been separate companies since 2014, despite co-developing Metro Exodus. [6] 4A Malta, now owned by Embracer Group, retains the 4A name and trademark while Reburn is forging its own path. [6] The game uses a modified Unreal Engine 4 and lasts around 5 hours. [7]

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. [5]
