Sir, You Are Being Hunted teases new biomes, announces August 19 alpha release date

Sir, You Are Being Hunted

Sir, You Are Being Hunted continues to impress and tantalize with its classy Tweed-coated killer robots. A new video by developer Jim Rossignol shows off the new fens biome (a wetland, essentially), announces a date for the alpha release, and teases some new content.

The procedurally generated English fens are flat and open, which looks like it could really cramp your style, survival-wise. Sparse marsh grasses fill the landscape, and dapper hunting parties can be spotted from a mile away—but so can you. Floating sentry balloons will have to be avoided by hiding behind debris and abandoned buildings.

The video also announces that a general alpha release will go out to everyone who pre-orders and all Kickstarter backers on August 19. Rossignol also teases yet another biome, the industrial biome, with a single image of a rusty old factory building. Could we possibly be dodging robots in a decrepit urban city center? Sounds stressful.

Sir, You Are Being Hunted will be released later this year.
