Animal-Headed Battle Royale Shooter DNA NEMESIS Announced for December
Catalisol Limited announced on August 27 during the Future Games Show: gamescom 2026 stream that it is developing DNA NEMESIS jointly with Aeternum Game Studios. The game is a third-person battle royale shooter scheduled for release on PC via Steam in December 2026. Players form teams of up to four and drop from an airship onto a battlefield, engaging in gunfights to survive. The central feature is that playable characters have animal heads, representing the genes of creatures such as sharks, octopuses, and elephants. Each of the ten animal types appears to possess unique abilities, though details remain undisclosed. The released trailer shows a character with wings flying through the air, indicating airborne movement options. The game also introduces a strategic layer where movement speed changes based on weapon weight, equipped attachments, bulletproof vests, backpacks, and their contents, suggesting that simply collecting gear anywhere will not lead to victory. Currently, only the store page and trailer are available, with further updates expected leading up to release. The announcement positions DNA NEMESIS as a title where players prove their superiority as apex predators by combining the genes of nature's strongest and wisest creatures.
