About the game:
Step into the dystopian world of Voivod: The Nuclear Warrior, a high-energy run-and-gun Metroidvania inspired by the rich lore and iconic concept albums of Voivod. Under an official license from the legendary band, this game brings their sci-fi-infused, post-apocalyptic universe to life in a way never seen before.
Immerse yourself in the chaotic, twisted landscapes of Voivod’s discography as you battle through mechanical wastelands, alien-infested zones, and the war-torn cities of a doomed future.
Story and Setting:
The game follows the journey of the Voivod, a post-apocalyptic warrior lost in a surreal nightmare. Due to his constantly mutating form, he has lost his head and is guided by his own disembodied mind, known as Nothingface. His quest is to recover scattered fragments of his consciousness, and only once he has reclaimed them all can he escape his nightmarish fate.
With a storyline woven from across Voivod’s entire discography—from early classics like War and Pain and Dimension Hatröss to later masterpieces such as The Wake and Synchro Anarchy—players will experience a mind-bending narrative of rebellion, survival, and cosmic horror.
From cybernetic fortresses to desolate wastelands, each environment is crafted to reflect the band’s unique sci-fi aesthetic. Longtime Voivod fans will recognize familiar themes and references, while new players will be drawn into an immersive and otherworldly adventure.
Band involvement:
Voivod will work closely with the game developers to supervise the entire creative process, ensuring that every aspect of the game stays true to the band’s deep and intricate lore. From the visual design to the soundtrack and gameplay elements, the band is deeply involved in shaping the experience to be an authentic tribute to their legacy.
Furthermore, each member of Voivod will also take on specific roles in the development of the game:
– Michel “Away” Langevin will contribute to the game’s visual design and artwork.
– Daniel “Chewy” Mongrain will oversee the adaptation of Voivod’s music into the game’s soundtrack.
– Denis “Snake” Bélanger will provide the voice of the protagonist.
– Dominic “Rocky” Laroche will playtest and provide valuable gameplay feedback.
