Poland’s capital is once again becoming the setting for virtual adventures. On July 20, the second installment of the City of Wonders project (the “Great Chase” map) will debut on the Go2Warsaw account in Fortnite. This time, players will take part in a dynamic race against the clock and face off against a giant Basilisk within the walls of Warsaw’s iconic buildings. New Game +, the gaming division of inStreamly, is responsible for developing the new map.
Following the success of the first map, “City of Wonders,” which explored the history and legends of the capital, it’s time for a completely new gameplay mechanic. “The Basilisk: Roguelike Hunt in Warsaw” is an action-packed speedrun and parkour game for 1–4 players, combining time travel, arcade shooter elements, and an epic boss battle.
From Hunter to Prey – A Thrilling Story
Players take on the roles of agents from the Bureau of the Extraordinary, who set out in pursuit of a tiny basilisk that has escaped from the facility.
- The Chase Phase: Players race through historic and modern Warsaw, following the trail of the fleeing creature.
- Battle Phase: After catching up to the Basilisk, players must face it and defeat it as quickly as possible.
The final, suspense-filled showdown with the giant beast will take place in a spectacularly recreated version of the Main Building of the Warsaw University of Technology.
Famous locations and a comic-book story
The new arcade map features and reimagines iconic locations inspired by Warsaw, familiar from the project’s first edition. The game will include:
- a modern city center with skyscrapers,
- picturesque gardens inspired by the Royal Łazienki Park,
- the Old Town, and a flying board race on the Vistula River.
In safe zones (known as “Rifts”), players will encounter Maria Skłodowska-Curie, the Warsaw Ninja, and Fryderyk Chopin. These prominent Poles will offer players special upgrades to make their run easier. While waiting for other players, you can enjoy engaging mini-games, such as a shooting range or an obstacle course. Additionally, specially designed comic panels will help you understand the game’s storyline.
How do you play “The Basilisk: Roguelike Hunt in Warsaw”?
The game is completely free and available to anyone who has Fortnite installed. You can play solo or with a group of up to 4 friends.
