Today sees the release of Biomutant, the long-awaited RPG offering developed by Swedish studio Experiment 101 and published under THQ Nordic.
Experiment s debut title was unveiled at Gamescom 2017 as an ambitious open-world action game. The studio itself was set up two years prior by ex-Avalanche Studio employees that had previously worked on the Just Cause franchise.
Biomutant is set in an open-world environment struck by a natural disaster, which the game s protagonist is tasked with cleaning up. Despite world-ending circumstances, the landscape is populated by anthropomorphic mammals that have mastered martial arts.
