This newly-announced FPS will let you blast through the worlds of Medieval Europe's weirdest artist, and I really hope it includes the 500-year-old butt song from hell
Hieronymus invites you to step into artworks like The Garden of Earthly Delights.
This upcoming first-person shooter (FPS) game, titled Hieronymus, brings players into the bizarre world of Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch. Players take on the role of Helena van Aken, a woman trying to uncover her family's connection to otherworldly powers, guided by the alchemist who inspired the legendary figure of Faust. The game, revealed at the Future Games Show during Gamescom, offers players to traverse 3D recreations of Bosch's most renowned works, such as The Garden of Earthly Delights, while wielding period-accurate weapons like crossbows and arquebuses, and using alchemy to create special projectiles.
The game's visuals are described as visually enticing, but its mechanical aspects, such as movement, combat, and interaction, appear to need improvement. The inclusion of the infamous 'butt song from hell' from Bosch's work remains uncertain, as the developers may face censorship issues with Steam. Despite the potential challenges, Hieronymus still appears to be an intriguing prospect for fans of both horror and surreal art.
A release date has not been announced yet, but the game is expected to be released sometime in 2026.
