Former Ubisoft, Techland, CI Games, Bloober Team, and QLOC developers have formed Iron Lung.

According to Alterborn’s Steam page, “Alterborn is a third-person survival action shooter set in a grim, lawless world corrupted by an antediluvian force. You’re an Alterborn, one of the last survivors that eluded death, but not without cost; change overtook you, becoming etched on your very being. You’re set to explore the Shattered Lands while on a quest to venture into the heart of the curse that plagues you.

A one of a kind, foreboding world: embark on a dangerous journey, roaming a vast, bizarre wasteland filled with otherworldly fauna and flora, unlike anything you have ever seen before and uncover all its mysteries. The world is steeped in dark humour and does not play by any rules. Most of the time. A holistic game design: a unique blend of multiple genres such as soulslike, roguelite, looter shooter and more, mixed in with a plethora of arcade abilities that cause unspeakable mayhem… and fun.

In-depth customization: explore gameplay systems with meaningful choices! Fine-tune your playstyle by mixing and matching countless unlockables such as varied, extraordinary guns, abilities and traits. Pick and choose your friends and foes: side with those you deem worthy and fight those you… are just not very fond of. Do whatever! A complex relationship system filled with possibilities will at the very least let you get a glimpse at what is truly going on within this crazed, unstable world.

Your surroundings change in real-time before your eyes; explore handcrafted levels mixed with procedurally generated content and ever-changing gameplay mechanics. Overcome adversity with a flexible difficulty level that utilizes game mechanics rather than an artificial slider. Subsequently, each type of player will appreciate the challenge explicitly tailored to them. Special content awaits those most dedicated. Your actions do matter and impact the world around you. Whenever you delve into the Shattered Lands, your experience will differ, offering you brand new quests and events while pitting you against unique enemies and bosses. At the same time, spotting patterns, learning them and adjusting your toolset will be rewarded,” Iron Lung wrote.

Alterborn launches in 2023 on PlayStation 5 and PC.
