Vigilance 2099 Aiming for Consoles & PC Release; Could Feature a Nemesis-Inspired System

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new Cyberpunk/ Blade Runner/Prey 2-inspired game in development called Vigilance 2099. While the small three-person studio is currently in early stages of development, they have recently shown off some short snippets of gameplay, along with revealing some of their potential plans, including a console release.

Vigilance 2099 Gameplay Teaser

Do mind that the current gameplay you are about to see is from a prototype version, meaning it is very early and has a lot of noticeable technical and graphical issues.

Yeah, it definitely needs more work, but again this was just an early look from a prototype build. Considering three people made this, it isn’t all that bad either and shows some potential.

What’s more, the devs at Envoidant Studios opened up a bit more on their official Discord channel, confirming that while no platforms are announced as of it, they are aiming to release Vigilance 2099 on the PC, PlayStation, and Xbox console.

What platforms will the game be on?

Too soon to say but we aim to have it available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

This could potentially change down the road as the studio is currently in talks with publishers about funding the title, though if that doesn’t end up happening they are considering opening a Kickstarter to fund it.

Now for those wondering whether this will be a full open-world, the team confirmed it though it won’t be a very large one as they wanted to make it feel “tight” with the goal of being content filled.

The game will be decently sized open world. The city will be split into 3 distinct sections stacking on top one another. The wealthiest at the top, middle class at the middle section and the most unfortunate at the bottom. We want to avoid having a large world just for the sake of it, making ground level of each sector feel tight yet content filled is our main goal.

Other details such as character and vehicle customizations were also confirmed along with a feature list which you can find below.

  • Driving – Air Models or ground vehicles
  • Parkour
  • Shooting
  • Slight hand to hand combat (takedowns, counters)
  • Interrogations – NPC’s and bounties
  • Hacking
  • Negotiation – Deals with bounties to accept alternate rewards to let them go

All of these are currently in prototype with an additional feature known as the “Outlaw System” being planned. The developers state they don’t want to over promise anything, but describe the Outlaw System being similar to the Nemesis System from Shadow of Mordor. They state that bounties that escape from players will remember and have more upgrades if a player chooses to go after them again.

That all sounds pretty awesome to us, and hopefully the studio is able to surprise us once there is a better build to be shown off. We will definitely keep an eye on this one, and hopefully will hear about it some more soon.

Looks fun. I hope it’s not just trickery like a certain other game’s initial release footage.
