“For your awareness: This game contains depictions of life-altering or ending illnesses and bereavement of children. Please do not play if these issues would cause undue distress
“
Team17 Digital and SISMO GAMES have revealed SKINWALKER as part of the Galaxies Showcase. In SKINWALKER, you play a weary scientist forced to give up his own humanity in order to save his daughter. By shapeshifting into a monstrous form and wielding its ancient archaic wrath, you will fight anyone who stands in your way and decide if you truly would do anything to save your child.
A mysterious being is held captive within your father’s research center. You swear allegiance to this formidable beast in a desperate attempt to save your daughter from a terminal illness — forging a symbiosis in exchange for its freedom and the promise of a cure.
Key Features
- Fast-Paced Fighting: You will play in two modes – Human and Beast. Activating beast mode grants increased strength and agility, allowing you to skillfully dodge enemy attacks and swiftly navigate hostile environments. But like your human self, you are not invincible.
- Rich and Emotional Storytelling: Experience an emotionally impactful narrative where your decisions affect the plot and the fate of your daughter. Face moral dilemmas and intense emotional situations that demand reflective, empathetic responses.
- A Quest of Hope: From a high-security laboratory through lush forests and mountains, you’ll take on missions with clear objectives while encountering multiple characters along the way.
SKINWALKER is coming to PC and consoles in 2026.
