Fans have been clamoring for years to see anyone take responsibility and try to make a modern Superman video game. Previous attempts to do this have largely failed, leading some to believe that a proper Superman game is very difficult to get right. Well, a developer is now proving that opponents are wrong on their most recent project.
Coming from developer Undefeated Games, Undefeated is a superhero video game where players control a character who has powers that resemble Superman. With the ability to fly at high speed, destroy objects with super strength, and even use laser vision, the game seems to give players the Superman experience they so desire. Perhaps the coolest part is that Undefeated is also being developed on Unreal Engine 4. This means that the title has destructible environments, which are especially interesting when you have these incredible Superman skills at your fingertips.
For anyone who thinks a Superman game is impossible: this guy is making one.
All for himself. https://t.co/6YxVImKIFy

Obviously, Undefeated it is not a real Superman game, but it is obvious that the title is based on the Man of Steel. When it comes to the design of the main character, he looks a little more like Superboy than Clark Kent. More than anything, Undefeated seems to prove that a video game based on Superman is more than viable. If a small independent studio can create an incredible game like this, imagine what an AAA developer could do.
The best part of Undefeated is that you can actually play the game now. A demo is available on Steam that PC users can download and play immediately. It’s obviously not the full experience, but it should give you a good taste of what Undefeated Games has in mind. For now, the final project is still under development and does not have a launch window of any kind on the cards.
For more on Undefeated, you can keep following the game’s development via Twitter. The studio regularly publishes new videos of the title’s progress and gets better with each new update. And if there are any major new developments with the game, we will obviously inform you here on ComicBook.com as well.
So what do you think? Must a Superman game in the style of Undefeated finally be done? And you will play now Undefeated for yourself? Let me know in the comments or send me a Twitter message at @ MooreMan12 to continue the conversation.
