Dontnod’s follow-up to Life is Strange is off in the distance, with the title not slated for release until 2017. However, the developer is laying the ground work for Vampyr, with new concept art featuring the 1918 London setting.

Players will take on the role of doctor turned vampire in the midst of the Spanish Flu outbreak. Vampyr is an RPG, which means you’ll have the opportunity to decide how you take advantage of your unearthly powers.

The setup of a healer turned bloodthirsty killer presents moral challenges. Being a vampire requires human blood, and you’ll need to decide how much of your humanity to cling to.

Vampyr is due in 2017 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. You can check out early concept shots in the gallery below.
