Voivod is getting into the world of video games with their debut game, Voivod: The Nuclear Warrior. The band has teamed up with Chaosmonger Studio for the game, which is a classic 2D run-and-gun Metroidvania-styled adventure.
Voivod: The Nuclear Warrior also features an original soundtrack by Voivod guitarist Daniel “Chewy” Mongrain and composer Yann Latour, voice acting by vocalist Denis “Snake” Bélanger, special NPC cameos honoring past band members, and of course boss battles inspired by Voivod album covers.
“Step into the dystopian world of Voivod: The Nuclear Warrior, a high-energy run-and-gun Metroidvania inspired by the rich lore and iconic concept albums of Voivod,” wrote the band of the game. “Under an official license from the legendary band, this game brings their sci-fi-infused, post-apocalyptic universe to life in a way never seen before.
“Immerse yourself in the chaotic, twisted landscapes of Voivod’s discography as you battle through mechanical wastelands, alien-infested zones, and the war-torn cities of a doomed future.”
Donate to the Kickstarter right here, which is doing pretty damn well so far. As for the plat of the game, Chaosmonger Studio elaborated: “The game follows the journey of the Voivod, a post-apocalyptic warrior lost in a surreal nightmare. Due to his constantly mutating form, he has lost his head and is guided by his own disembodied mind, known as Nothingface. His quest is to recover scattered fragments of his consciousness, and only once he has reclaimed them all can he escape his nightmarish fate.
“With a storyline woven from across Voivod’s entire discography—from early classics like War and Pain and Dimension Hatröss to later masterpieces such as The Wake and Synchro Anarchy—players will experience a mind-bending narrative of rebellion, survival, and cosmic horror.
“From cybernetic fortresses to desolate wastelands, each environment is crafted to reflect the band’s unique sci-fi aesthetic. Longtime Voivod fans will recognize familiar themes and references, while new players will be drawn into an immersive and otherworldly adventure.”
