Trailer released for The War of the Worlds: Siberia

The first footage has been released for The War of the Worlds: Siberia during IGN Fan Fest 2025, showcasing the game's exciting story and how 1CGS has brought the legendary sci-fi world to gaming.

February 2025 — 1CGS is excited to reveal new The War of the Worlds: Siberia gameplay footage during the IGN Fan Fest 2025 event. The brand new story-focused trailer introduces players to suspense and intrigue in the upcoming third-person action-adventure game, set in the world of H.G. Well’s legendary 1897 sci-fi novel. Developers have also unveiled the official Steam page, where interested players can Wishlist and learn more about TWotW: Siberia ahead of its future launch.

The War of the Worlds: Siberia follows Student (our currently unnamed protagonist) as he attempts to navigate the Russian Empire currently under the rule of alien invaders. With the original book set in England and the popular film set in America, TWotW: Siberia gives another perspective fueled by political intrigue and the intimidating sci-fi presence. The new in-engine trailer teases this enticing dichotomy, illuminating the precarious position of the game’s protagonist and his allies as they survive under the imposition of their invaders as they seek to strike a bargain.

“Our gameplay reveal trailer has garnered over 360,000 views across YouTube, the team is really happy to see the interest in Siberia and share more in this cinematic cut,” say the developers. “Adapting the world of a legendary literary work into a game is an incredible opportunity and we’re excited to share more in the near future.” 1C has committed to creating an immersive and cinematic-like experience, devoting over 240 hours in motion capture studios, over 30 hours of recording more than 10,000 words of dialogue in 2024.
