Metal Hellsinger Is Spiritual Successor to Brütal Legend

Metal: Hellsinger is an upcoming rhythm FPS that features a heavy metal soundtrack, much like the cult-classic action-adventure game Brütal Legend. A new trailer for the title premiered at The Game Awards 2021, announced by Trivium lead singer Matt Heafy. Players will battle their way through Hell while timing their movements and attacks with the music in order to optimize their combat. Metal: Hellsinger comes with stylized artwork and dark backdrops, very similar to the landscape of Brütal Legend. Metal: Hellsinger is not the first rhythm FPS, and definitely follows BPM: Bullets Per Minute very closely.

Brütal Legend is a cult classic action-adventure game that blends fantasy elements with the world of heavy metal. The game follows the story of Eddie Riggs, voiced by Jack Black who is the world’s best roadie. Jack Black brought his signature humor to the title and made it something that even non-metal heads could enjoy. Players could hop in a highly stylized hot rod and blaze around in an open-world fashion to discover the secrets of The Brütal Land. Brütal Legend’s combat incorporated real-time strategy elements, which gave it the perfect blend of open-world RPG and strategy game.

Brütal Legend was first released in 2009 and has since received a few re-releases for other platforms, but has never received any real talk of a sequel, though fans have been asking for it since day one. Double Fine, the developer for Brütal Legend, released Psychonauts 2 earlier this year and it featured Jack Black once again, showing that the actor is still on good terms with the studio. This prompted fans to ask yet again: Will there be a Brütal Legend 2? Unfortunately, it looks like the answer is still no, as Double Fine co-founder Tim Shafer said that a sequel would be “tricky” and they’re not sure which direction to go. Luckily for fans of metal music and video games, Metal: Hellsinger can fill that void.

Metal: Hellsinger Features Famous Metal Singers

One of the best parts of Brütal Legend was the inclusion of real metal and rock musicians, like Ozzy Osbourne and Lemmy from Motorhead, that made the game feel like it was really made with a love for heavy music. It looks like Metal: Hellsinger will have its own take on this, though without the caricatures of music icons. Much of the music seems to have been created exclusively for this game and will feature the lead singers of bands such as Jinjer, Arch Enemy, Lamb of God, and many more. Like in BPM: Beats Per Minute, players will need to move in sync with the music, but in Hellsinger each level has its own tailored song, and each song has multiple layers.

While the gameplay for Metal: Hellsinger does look almost identical to BPM: Bullets Per Minute, it also looks like it will have its own spin on things. Hellsinger seems to focus more heavily on the plot, and an epic journey through the eight Hells. Fans of Brütal Legend will enjoy the way Hellsinger centers the music so heavily, and will no doubt feel a sense of nostalgia from the classic iconography of skulls and spikes everywhere. Though the gameplay will be very different between the two games, the overall aesthetic and passion behind Hellsinger is sure to resonate with Brütal Legend fans. Metal: Hellsinger is set to release sometime in 2022.
