Do you often find yourself overlooking great game art, because you’re just so used to moving pictures nowadays? We sure do and it seems that 1C Company picked up on this concerning trend of laziness. That’s why their latest trailer for Nuclear Union is a mix of the two.

The clip consisting of slowly shifting concept art shows its basic plot in between frames. The Cold War has taken a turn for the worst and that has left Mother Russia broken under a nuclear assault. Towns are desolate, nature has taken back the land and grown its branches all through crumbled buildings and abandoned structures. The clip also shows the contrast between the effects for rural areas and larger cities. We even go into the pride that is the capital of the motherland. Now that the sun is out again, perhaps mankind can take back the day.

The PC exclusive Nuclear Union is a self-proclaimed large scale first-person RPG. It bears some similarities with the THQ sequel Metro 2033, but there can be more than one of a good thing. It’s being made by the creators of the Men of War series.
