14 DAY TRIAL // Sony and developer Nihilistic have presented the first story details about their upcoming Resistance: Burning Skies game through a special video, filled not just with a lot of impressive concept art, but also with some gameplay footage from the new PS Vita title.
Resistance: Burning Skies is set to appear for Sony’s recently released PlayStation Vita console on May 29, but not a lot was known about the game up until recently.
Now, developer Nihilistic together with Sony, who’s publishing the game, have launched a special video that introduces the protagonist of Burning Skies and details the part he’ll play in the overall narrative of the franchise.
“Resistance: Burning Skies is, at its core, a story about an everyday hero becoming a legend. On August 15th, 1951, New York City fireman Tom Riley is called away during a seemingly routine fire call and finds himself thrust into the midst of the brutal Chimeran invasion. Riley is possessed with a singular determination to find his wife and child, but along the way he’ll be embroiled in a far larger conflict that will determine the fate of New York and leave him a key inspirational hero of the Resistance,” Sony revealed about the game.
As you can see in the trailer below, Riley has his work cut out for him, as he’ll encounter not just traditional Chimera foes, like hybrids and soldiers, but also some new ones, like the hulking Executioner.
Fortunately, Riley has an array of weapons at his disposal, from his trusty fireman axe, to the Auger, which is the trademark of the series. There are also some new guns that present, including the Hunter rifle, which shoots not just bullets but also offensive drones that can be guided on the battlefield using the PS Vita’s touchscreen controls.
Expect to hear some more details about Resistance: Burning Skies as we get closer to its late May release date.
Until then, check out the trailer below with the PS Vita game.
