Rhythm-based first-person shooter Metal: Hellsinger will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on September 15, publisher Funcom and developer The Outsiders announced. It will cost $39.99 on console and $29.99 on PC. A demo is also now available across all platforms.

Here is an overview of the game, via Funcom:

About

Metal: Hellsinger is a first-person rhythm shooter where you embody the fury of metal music and vengeance as The Unknown. Tear through eight levels of Hell armed with a powerful demonic arsenal as you slay to the beat of a savage original soundtrack. Across an ocean of demons stands the Red Judge, ruler of the Hells, and you're going to take back what she stole: your voice.
Key Features
  • Slay to the Beat – Metal: Hellsinger is a rhythm first-person shoter, where your ability to shoot on the beat will enhance your gameplay experience. The more in sync you are with the rhythm, the more intense the music will become and the more destruction you
    will cause.
  • Talented Voices from Hell – Metal: Hellsinger goes hard on the voice talent. The original soundtrack features a collection of metal icons such as Matt Heafy (Trivium), Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Randy Blythe (Lamb of God), Tatiana Shmayluk (Jinjer), and many more. On the story side, award-winning actors Troy Baker and Jennifer Hale lend their voices to the main characters.
  • Original and Adaptive Music – All the music in Metal: Hellsinger is original and adapts to the player's performance. Slay to the beat enough and the music will get increasingly intense. Stay in the groove without missing a beat to keep the vocals roaring.
  • An Epic Story and Challenge Mode – Play through an epic storyline that takes you through the otherworldly environments of eight Hells. Discover The Unknown's past and defy the Red Judge of all Hells. After concluding the epic story, conquer the leaderboards or challenge your friends to beat your score on each level in the Challenge Mode.
  • A Demonic Arsenal – Defeat the demon hordes with a skull-clad blade or a range of murderous guns. Charge each weapon's unique ultimate ability and then unleash unrestrained destruction.

System of a Down’s frontman is providing music for a new rhythm-based shooter | VGC

System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian will provide music for the upcoming rhythm-based first-person shooter; Metal: Hellsinger.
www.videogameschronicle.com www.videogameschronicle.com

System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian will provide music for the upcoming rhythm-based first-person shooter Metal: Hellsinger.

The new track, titled No Tomorrow, features the singer's instantly recognisable voice over hard-hitting guitars and drums, and sounds similar to his work in metal band System of a Down (though the track doesn't feature any other band member).

Metal: Hellsinger. is being developed by The Outsiders, a team lead by FPS veteran David Goldfarb, who served as the game director on Payday 2 and lead designer on Battlefield 3 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Tankian joins the long list of metal singers providing music for the game including Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Matt Heafy (Trivium), and Randy Blythe (Lamb of God).

"Strike terror into the hearts of demons and devils as you fight your way through eight Hells," reads the description on the game's Steam page.

"Metal: Hellsinger is a rhythm FPS, brimming with diabolical enemies, powerful weapons, and metal music. Set out on an infernal journey in order to achieve the purest of goals: vengeance."

Each of the game's stages will feature a different track that the player must kill enemies in time to. The music will dynamically change based on the intensity of the action, from quiet background noise to loud, bombastic metal.

Metal: Hellsinger was originally supposed to launch at some point last year, but it's now planned for later in 2022 so the game can launch simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Game would've been cool without the diversity hire. Who the fuck likes arch enemy? Nobody. Exactly.

Game will release on Sept 15th. I played the demo and it was good fun, curious about the reviews and impressions. Once you get into the groove, it feels pretty great. Will check it out with my GamePass trial!

Will buy eventually. I still don't understand where the "rhythm" plays a part in the gameplay, but I am a fan of both Doom and metal.

It's actually pretty awesome. I'll explain:

There's a basic beat at all times. If you shoot, dodge, jump, reload etc. to that rhythm, you get more points and damage multipliers if I remember correctly. By doing that, the basic beat keeps evolving/escalating into a full song, slowly adding elements like guitars, more drums, then vocals etc. over the course of a level.

Reviews are very positive so far, seems to be a very good game that's a bit short - which is perfectly fine with me. Won't be able to play much this month, but will very likely jump in next month. The demo was already great fun, I'm excited to play the final version.

Oh Gamepass. Can't change the language to English and am stuck with German text all over the place. Maybe need to change the Windows system settings as a whole.

Maybe the game will only play music from Rammstein and Accept for you :ROFLMAO:

I'd be down for that.

The VA is English, but the game is full of very badly translated German texts. All the tips and tutorials are just bad.

Changing my system language to English prevents the game from launching because it can't verify the license for some reason.

Well. Will wait for a cheap Steam key for the game I guess.

Yeah a lot of GamePass games require you to change the Windows system language. It really sucks.
 
Tried it on PC Gamepass. Def not my kinda game. Got more annoyed than anything trying to match the rhythm. I can see how some people would dig it though.

Good to see them expand the soundtrack. If they had a way to import songs out of your own collection and make it thread like what is offered, it would be pretty rockin'.

I have a number of theme songs that run through my head on a what-if scenario where I have to defend and fight my way out of a combat situation. Some of them inspiring, some of them over the top aggressive and a lot of them ridiculous and absurd.
