Serial killers, magic, Los Angeles… What other threats will this game have in store for us? During a recent presentation, Nesting Games announced its new project: The Directorate: Novitiate, a third-person action and fantasy RPG that immerses us in a magical version of Los Angeles in 2006. In this game, players will take on the role of Mercury, a magical gangster who, in addition to facing various supernatural threats, must investigate a chilling serial killer in an environment filled with hidden horrors.
All the magic that Los Angeles can be
The playable proposal of The Directorate: Novitiate combines elements of role-playing, action, and shooting, allowing players to enhance their skills and face enemies with a system of weapon Katas and acrobatic movements that promise a dynamic and immersive experience. Become an action star, claim its developers, who have emphasized the importance of a detailed progression system in the game.
Since its announcement, some players have noted similarities with the acclaimed title Control by Remedy Entertainment, although The Directorate: Novitiate aims for a more supernatural approach. This point of reference could attract both fantasy and action fans, something that has generated expectations within the gaming community.
Nesting Games, founded in 2001 and under the ownership of Digital Bros Studio, is composed of industry veterans with experience in companies like Capcom, Warner Bros. Games Montreal, and Ubisoft. This pedigree gives confidence that the focus on single-player adventures will be of high caliber.
The launch of The Directorate: Novitiate is scheduled for this year in early access for PC, a move that suggests the developers are looking to receive feedback from the community while they continue to refine the game experience.
