At the Nacon Connect event today, Hekate and Nacon have revealed a new Ad Infinitum gameplay video with commentary, taking player through a World War 1 German soldier’s torn psyche as he struggles to maintain a grip on reality between a sinister abandoned mansion in Berlin and a twisted recreation of the war filled with eldritch horrors. The developers have delayed the game from its April 20 release date to a September 2023 window, citing quality concerns as the reason.
