Life has once again found a way in Athanasia, an “immersive” dinosaur FPS that feels like comfort food for Dino Crisis and System Shock players alike
Athanasia, a new first-person immersive sim from Momentum Games and published by Black Lantern Collective, positions itself as a spiritual successor to both Dino Crisis and System Shock. Players take on the role of Carmen Flores, a researcher sent to investigate an abandoned scientific facility deep in South America, a premise that blends the creature-hunting tensions of Dino Crisis with the atmospheric, puzzle-driven gameplay design characteristic of System Shock.
The game arrives as welcome news for fans who have long waited for a new entry in the Dino Crisis franchise, while also appealing to enthusiasts of immersive sim design. Its release comes amid Capcom’s ongoing focus on remaking and expanding its Resident Evil franchise, signaling continued interest in horror-adjacent gameplay experiences within the gaming industry.
