Blindfire is a new multiplayer arena shooter that launched today on Xbox Series X/S and PC. The game takes place in near-total darkness, forcing players to rely on their senses and strategic positioning to eliminate opponents.
The main game mode, "Bodycount", pits players against each other in high-stakes, one-life rounds. The lack of lighting means that firing your weapon or moving carelessly can give away your position, so players must be cautious and listen closely for enemy movements. An "Echo" ability briefly outlines the player's immediate surroundings to help them locate foes.
As the match progresses, more lights will turn on, gradually illuminating the arena and forcing players out of the shadows. Success in Blindfire is said to be more about "strategy and execution" than just raw shooting skill.
Blindfire is available now for $8.99 on the Xbox Store and PC storefronts. A free trial is also offered, so players can try the unique dark-based shooter for themselves. Reviews so far have been positive, praising the game's tense, atmospheric gameplay.
