Chorus will be released on December 3rd, Deep Silver has confirmed. The arcade space shooter was first announced back in May 2020, with the initial announcement being for Xbox consoles. However, it has been confirmed that Chrous will be available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, and Stadia.
In Chorus players take on the role of a top pilot called Nara who, alongside her sentient ship named Forsaken, faces off against the cult known as the Circle. A cult that Nara used to belong to, along with the sentient ship she now flies in combat against her former comrades.
The official blurb for Chorus reads as follows:
A Journey of RedemptionÂ
Lead Nara, an ace pilot facing her haunted past, and Forsaken, her sentient ship. Their quest for redemption will take them across the galaxy and beyond the boundaries of reality, as they fight to unite resistance forces against the Circle and their leader, the Great Prophet, at all costs.
Venture Beyond the Void
Enter a dark new universe, teeming with mystery and rife with conflict. Explore epic locations including sprawling space stations and strange planes of existence beyond our own. Engage in exhilarating Zero-G dogfights from epic cosmic vistas to tight crystalline corridors. Chorus balances the scale and spectacle of space exploration with frenetic, fast-paced action.
One Pilot, One Ship, One Living WeaponÂ
Attain powerful and distinct weapons and combat upgrades. Master your ship’s unique drift mechanic and deadly mind-bending abilities, including extra-sensory perception, teleportation and telekinesis, to overcome massive hordes of enemies and take down titanic battleships. Chain your powers together to become the ultimate living weapon.
We’re looking forward to sharing more on Chorus with you in the upcoming months, but until then, prepare yourselves for a journey beyond the Void.
In today’s hands on preview for Chorus, Stefan wrote:
“What I really like about Chorus, though, is the atypical tone that the game has throughout. The way that Nara and Forsaken speak to one another, how Nara whispers to herself about turning her Circle training back onto the cultists she now fights against, and even the dark visions of the Faceless and the transdimensional threat they pose to the galaxy. It’s through visiting the Faceless temples that have grown of their own accord that Nara is able to gain new powers, these giving you tight and twisty gauntlets to overcome with Forsaken’s movement. There’s a twisted symbiosis between Nara and the Faceless that I’m keen to find out more about in the full game.
For fans of space shooters, there’s a lot to look forward to in Chorus. This isn’t a hard sci-fi simulation of space travel and combat, but a fast-paced arcade action romp that’s just as engaging with its unusual setting and visual design.”
