Ever since we first mentioned Fear The Wolves, the developers at Vostok Games have been hard at work shaping the latest entry into the crowded Battle Royale FPS market. What may set Fear The Wolves apart from its competition is the pedigree of the dev team, which previously worked on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. We’ll soon find out how it stacks up, as Fear The Wolves will be available in early access on Steam on July 18th.

Fear The Wolves will combine the traditional last-man-standing mechanics of Battle Royale games with unique environmental hazards and PvE elements. Wolves will be a hazard, but radiation, weather, and endgame extraction mechanics will also be present.

The initial early access version will feature a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vibe and include the core gameplay elements envisioned by Vostok Games. Fear The Wolves intends to take its time in early access seriously and will solicit community feedback on everything from weapon balance to new gameplay ideas. A new mode with gameplay features such as leaning and crawling, as well as more weapons, items, mutants, and weather variations are already planned.

You can find more details about Fear The Wolves on the Steam page and expect the game to hit full release sometime in 2019.
