New FPS 'Forest Reigns' Explores a Post-Apocalyptic Paris Overrun by Sentient Trees

Developed by a former Stalker dev, the game promises a non-linear story, emergent gameplay, and a unique nature-driven setting.

Forest Reigns is a newly announced single-player FPS set in a post-apocalyptic Paris reclaimed by sentient plant life.
The game is led by Ruslan Didenko, a veteran developer from Stalker: Call of Pripyat, and emphasizes emergent gameplay mechanics.
Players will interact with an ecosystem that acts as a conscious entity, reacting to choices and providing tools or challenges during combat.
The game features non-linear storytelling, RPG elements, faction dynamics, and a crafting system to enhance gameplay depth.
While no release date has been announced, the official gameplay trailer showcases innovative combat using nature-based mechanics like exploding fruit and ensnaring vines.
