We’re proud to reveal Metal: Hellsinger, a rhythm FPS coming to PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X in 2021.
Metal: Hellsinger sees you blasting your way through eight Hells to the beat of metal music composed for the game, with vocals by the likes of Matt Heafy (Trivium), Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), and more. The more on-beat your gunplay is, the more powerful you get, and the more intense the music becomes in turn.
Check out a first look at the game in action below:

Narrated by Troy Baker, the story places you in the role of part-demon, part-human, The Unknown, and sees you fighting your way through various versions of Hell on the way to destroy The Red Judge. Directed by David Goldfarb (Payday 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2), the game will give you a suite of hellish weaponry, each of which has an ultimate ability.
You can also check out our interview with The Outsiders’ David Goldfarb, and an extended look at gameplay, below:

Alongside a straight story mode, the game will also feature a challenge mode, letting you attempt to violently conquer leaderboards for individual songs, and challenge your friends to beat you.
The Outsiders – a Sweden-based indie studio made up of many AAA veterans – recently announced that it had halted development on its intended debut game, Darkborn. It added that it would have a new game to show soon – Metal: Hellsinger is that game.
