Prepare for a spine-tingling experience as Ad Infinitum, a brand-new horror game immersed in the horrors of a zombie-infested World War 1, is set to unleash its terror next week. The game’s launch trailer offers a haunting glimpse of its gritty atmosphere, accompanied by a haunting orchestral score and ominous narration.
Ad Infinitum, the eagerly anticipated horror title, is creeping onto modern gaming platforms in just under a week, just in time for the Halloween season. This release aligns with a wave of spine-chilling games gracing current-generation consoles throughout the year.
Ad Infinitum plunges players into the depths of an apocalyptic World War 1 plagued by zombies. Originally conceived as a student project in 2014, this spine-chiller is now under the careful guidance of French developer Nacon, though its initial release date in mid-April was pushed back. In the game, you’ll take on the role of a young German soldier haunted by the traumatic events of the war. Trapped in a nightmarish limbo between reality and terror, players must navigate both a sinister haunted house and the war-ravaged landscapes of World War 1 battlefields, all from a first-person perspective. Along the way, you’ll confront a horde of grotesque creatures hell-bent on thwarting your progress.
Nacon has unveiled a gripping launch trailer for Ad Infinitum on its official YouTube channel. The two-minute and twenty-second teaser showcases the game’s chilling setting, blending eerily realistic depictions of the real world with spine-tingling scenes of undead monstrosities feasting on corpses and lunging at the player through shattered windows. A foreboding British narrator provides glimpses into the game’s narrative, accompanied by a hauntingly minimalistic orchestral score. The trailer culminates with the tagline, “Nightmares Become Real,” followed by a list of supported platforms (PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X) and the eagerly awaited release date of September 14.
At the time of writing, the comment section is rather brief, but the few fans who have appeared are brimming with excitement for the game. They applaud the game’s unique storyline and distinctive style. One fan particularly commends the choice of World War 1 as a backdrop, noting that the war itself was a nightmarish scenario even without the presence of literal monsters. Another enthusiast suggests that Ad Infinitum’s style would make for an excellent World of Darkness game. Comparisons to the 2009 title NecroVisioN surface, with one fan asserting that Ad Infinitum’s superior polish and heightened fear factor set it leagues apart from its predecessor.
With Ad Infinitum untethered to any existing franchise, its positive reception bodes well for its potential success as a standalone horror game—a genre that has witnessed a surge in popularity in recent years. Only time will unveil whether Ad Infinitum ascends to the ranks of the best horror games on its designated platforms. Fortunately, the release date is fast approaching, and on September 14, 2023, Ad Infinitum will terrify players on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
