Ubisoft seems to be very active as of late, tomorrow a new game from their studios will be released; I Am Alive.
This new game from Ubisoft Shangai takes place in the fictional American city of Haventon, one year after a worldwide cataclysmic event. The Event, as it is referred to, wiped out most of the human civilization and left the world in ruins, barely habitable and with a toxic cloud of dust and ash now covering the surface.
Throughout the campaign, you’ll play as a man who struggles for survival in this desolated city while he tries to reunite with his long lost wife and daughter. The game focuses on facing the permanent insecurity of a now decaying and hazardous world and humanity’s darkest inclinations.
The gameplay gives a lot of importance into exploration and climbing, and offers an interesting gaming system: during encounters with various survivors, you’re given the option to use various tactics to stay alive. This includes bluff and intimidation as well as using a low profile to make a quick kill.
Here’s a new trailer:

In this craziness, you have to fight to survive, because humanity is just a stupid dream that disappeared with the rest of our life.
Only one thing is sure: I Am Alive…
