Studio Behind S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to Launch Early Access for Fear The Wolves Soon

Do you like horror games? How about the currently hot battle royale genre? If you answered "yes" to these questions, you might be in for a real treat with a game that combines elements of both. Vostok Games, founded by several ex-employees of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl's developer GSC Game World in 2012, is set to launch their newest game Fear the Wolves very soon via early access.

Fear The Wolves takes the best elements of battle royale games like PUBG and Fortnite, and shoves them into a radioactive Chernobyl straight out of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, complete with attacking mutants. The wolves are the only mutants revealed so far in the trailer above.

This unique take on the current battle royale genre was set to make the transition from closed beta to early access today, but has since been delayed "for a few weeks" in order to present a more polished, stable product to gamers.

The early access for Fear the Wolves will be available to PC players via Steam sometime this summer. Are you looking forward to trying this hybrid game or are you already fatigued when it comes to the current battle royale game surge?
