“Witchfire is a dream project for us,” said The Astronauts Creative Director and Co-Founder, Adrian Chmielarz. “After The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, we’re back to familiar shooter territory, but with the benefit of 2022 graphics and design. Now we’re able to bring our dark fantasies to life with spine-tingling realism!” Key members of the team worked on both Painkiller and Bulletstorm.
