Alternate Take on H.G. Wells’ Sci-Fi Classic Announced in Action Adventure Game ‘The War of the Worlds: Siberia’ [Trailer]

1C Game Studios is dipping into H.G. Wells’ classic War of the Worlds with their newly-announced title. The War of the Worlds: Siberia currently has no platforms or release date at the moment, but we do have a live-action announcement teaser for the game.

Tweaking the familiar story, The War of the Worlds: Siberia still happens in an alternate 1896, where Earth was the target of a massive Martian invasion. However, instead of Britain, the game’s focus is in Russia, where several characters attempt to save themselves by fleeing panic-stricken Petrograd and head for the eastern end of the Russian Empire.

“We’ve always dreamed about making a ‘What if?’ kind of game,” explains 1C Game Studios director Albert Zhiltsov. “What if the invasion wasn’t limited to Victorian Britain and instead took place all over the world? We wanted to include Russia in that story. During that period, the country was a powerful empire, plagued by internal struggles. An alien invasion is a historical trigger, much like the revolution of 1917: all the issues accumulated over the years spill out all at once.”

Siberia promises to be a “thrilling action/adventure experience” under the Russian Empire setting, with stealth elements and dozens of weapons for you to use against the Martian invaders. The developers also promise an intricate story with memorable characters who “represent classic archetypes of 19th-century Russia.”

You can keep tabs on the game’s developments for now via the official site.
