Serum Drops A Gameplay Trailer

Do you remember a sketchy article I made about Serum some time ago? Of course you do – you had it bookmarked and eagerly awaiting an update. To be honest, the name escaped me, but having seen the recent trailer, it all came back to me…

A little like Far Cry on the surface, there really wasn’t much to go by at the time of the press info, and while there’s no release date just yet, we now have some crucial info. Yes, it is a survival adventure where your life decisions are dictated by an unknown liquid and a strange device attached to your arm. You’ll explore, craft, and survive on your own or with up to four players in co-op.

Key features in Serum include:

A mysterious world to explore – Unravel the mystery of Serum and find your way out while exploring different biomes and their unique characteristics. Find clues about past events and use the new-found wisdom to survive while experiencing beautiful graphics delivered with the power of Unreal Engine.
Gather, hunt & farm – Figure out how to create new tools, traps, and weapons. Gather Serum from animals and plants and expand your safe zone to create a sustainable source of the substance. Prepare wisely for your next excursion to ensure it won’t be your last one.
Experiment with different formulas of Serum – Take advantage of a unique brewing mechanism that allows you to create various mixtures of Serum. Experiment with dozens of combinations and use them to enhance your abilities. Ensure you’re carrying enough to get you out of a tough spot.
Fight your way out – Clash with various creatures using a multitude of weapons: melee, ranged, and throwing including spears, bows and clubs. Use Serum to infuse and modify your weapons and gain the upper hand against mutated abominations that roam the island.
Defy the odds – Endure in a hostile environment under the pressure of time. Manage your health, stamina, and beware of Serum side effects. Survive alone or with a friend in online co-op mode.
