Revenant Introduction - the Brute

Hey everyone!

We're glad to start the new character's introduction wave. After the Survivors, let's meet the bad guys, the Revenants!

We hope you'll enjoy discovering these new characters as much as we enjoyed creating them.

Let's start, and unleash the Brute!

The name "Jorg Bähr" probably didn't ring a bell to many people in the Dreadmire county, but if you merely uttered the nickname "the Brute", most merchants and middle-class travellers would turn pale and shiver, knowing instantly which specific brute you were referring to, for Bähr was probably the tallest, strongest and meanest of them all.

A wanted highwayman due for beheading, Bähr was "saved" by the Plague that turned him into a Revenant. He's now a raging, braindead pile of muscles clad in a pilory, which, come to think of it, is pretty much what he was right before turning.

Heaume Run

A head-on charge that knocks back the Survivors and deals them a fair amount of damage. Can be stopped instantly by pressing the button again while running.

Stock Rotation

A powerful spin that stuns Survivors in range. Can be tricky to land, but very punishing when it connects. May also be used to halt the Heaume Run instantly!

If you want to know more about the Brute's character design evolution and the awesome work of our artists during the development of Darksburg, here's the link of the complete post we shared on Imgur: https://imgur.com/gallery/xLQ9DsX

We hope you enjoyed our introduction to the group of Revenants you'll be helping to stop the group of Survivors!

Make sure to wishlist the game and stay tuned as we still have plenty more to announce!
