Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier has been officially announced

 
Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier has been officially revealed for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, offering a story driven experience that is set between the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes movies. 
 
This game takes many ideas from the Telltale book of story telling but plans on giving players decisions and actions much more frequently, with the developers saying that an action is required every 15-20 seconds on average. The game will also be highly focused, with a 2-3 hour play time. This will allow the developers to work on diverging storylines which will prompt multiple playthroughs. 

Below is a quote from Imaginarium’s Founder, Martin Alltimes. Imaginarium is the studio behind the performance capture for Star Wars: Episode 7 and Avengers: Age of Ultron. This is Imaginarium’s first full game, though they have done performance capture for games like Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice in the past.  

 
 

The pace of the storytelling is just super-intense compared to any of these other games,
There’s no opening and closing drawers, no searching through inventories. It’s all about you making choices that affect relationships with other characters and, in the long term, how those relationships play out, and how the story plays out. It’s a creative risk, but when we talked to everyone on the team, they really believed in it. It would have been very easy for us to copy what had gone before.
 
 
Last Frontier will be set around a year after Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, with the human/ape war ongoing, leaving tensions high between the two species. A group of Apes enter into a human-owned Valley, with food forcing the apes to steal from the human populace to survive. 

  

 

Above is the game’s first official trailer and below is the game’s first official gameplay segment. The game will be built on Unreal Engine 4, though no release date has been announced at this time.
