Arena FPS Blindfire Early Access Now Available on PS5
/
Developer Double Eleven has released their new game Blindfire on the PlayStation 5 as an early access title. It’s an FPS arena shooter where gunfights happen in the dark.
Here’s a quick description of the game through its Steam page.
Light is a rarity in close-quarter arenas riddled with traps for intense firefights. Players must decide where and when to fire at the risk of exposing their position. Hone your senses with the room-scanning Echo mechanic to help you navigate the arena and locate your opponents.
Brave the arena alone or team up in matches of up to 8 players. In Bodycount mode, score the most points over five rapid-fire rounds. Be the last person standing when the lights come on and earn your place in the winner's showcase.
When defeated, spectators gain access to the arena's cutting-edge night vision cameras. Blacklight reveals the vibrant hues of hidden street art and transforms the slick designs of contestants' outfits. The eliminated spectators can assume control of traps in the arena to influence the outcome of the match and exact revenge.
The pitch-black battlefields of Blindfire turn the first-person shooter genre on its head. Stalk the shadows as the tension builds, then run for cover as the shots start flying in a volley of muzzle flashes. Think you've got what it takes to eliminate the competition in Blindfire? Then grab your weapon and LIGHT THEM UP.
With the concept where darkness is always present, this shooter is set to be slow and methodical as pulling the trigger is a risk of exposing your position. There are tricks and ways to locate enemies like a scanning mechanic, but what’s interesting is that players out in the match can mess with those still alive by shining a light at the arena, giving you the power to put a player at a disadvantage by exposing their position.
Blindfire has been out since October via Steam
Blindfire has been out on Steam since October through early access and expected to release fully sometime in 2025. For now, the early access version of the game comes to PlayStation 5 with a 10% discount for a limited time from now until December 9 for PlayStation Plus members.
This isn’t a free-to-play game as it has a fixed price. On Steam, it’s currently priced at PHP 304.95
Even in its current state, Path of Exile 2 overshadows much of the available ARPGs in the market today both in terms of quality and replayability. It sets a precedent, proving that the ARPG genre can still be improved. Grinding Gear Games are the tip of the spear that’s taking the ARPG genre into a new age of gaming.
