Metal Gear Solid meets Portal in freshly announced title, Black State

A brand new game was revealed today as part of IGN’s First series, and it’s certainly intriguing. Titled, Black State, it is a third-person action-adventure game that seems to mix the sneaky sneaky of the beloved Metal Gear Solid series, with Doctor Strange levels of messing with reality, akin to the Portal titles.

Developers Motion Blur spoke to IGN about the story of upcoming title:

“A former military legend is summoned for a mysterious mission: to rescue a captive scientist and uncover the truth behind a cataclysmic event. The mission, assigned by enigmatic Architects, is shrouded in uncertainty as some doors within the unknown territory lead to unpredictable and perilous destinations. Each door reveals new secrets and challenges, and he must navigate this treacherous landscape, discovering what awaits him behind each threshold, to complete his mission and unveil the hidden truths.”

The game is currently being developed for PC using Unreal Engine 5 (and it certainly shows, it looks awesome!). There is currently no information on a release window.

What do we think? This taking your fancy?
