Canadian sci-fi metal pioneers Voivod have shared a new update on their upcoming video game project, Voivod: The Nuclear Warrior.
“We’re excited to share a major visual update for Voivod: The Nuclear Warrior, the first official video game inspired by Voivod. The game’s key art has been completely reimagined in collaboration with Costin Chioreanu, bringing a richer level of detail, a stronger comic-book vibe, and an even more authentic Voivodian atmosphere. This new artwork better represents the tone and identity of the project as development continues. What do you think of this new look? If you haven’t yet, remember to wishlist the game on Steam, it really helps boost its visibility.”
Alongside the game news, Voivod recently rolled out new North American dates, confirmed an extended summer run across Europe and the UK, and provided an update on studio activity. The band also launched a new video for the classic track “Condemned To The Gallows.”
Drummer Michel “Away” Langevin offered a detailed look at what’s ahead: “We are gearing for a very exciting year in the Voivod camp, as we are working on multiple projects at once. We have a brand new setlist for a few tours planned in 2026, where we will play with good friends like Midnight and BAT. We are mixing the Quebec City Symphonique Live album, while recording the next studio LP. A video game by Chaosmonger Studio is in the works as well. In the meantime, here’s a video by Pierre Ménétrier for a re-recording of the very first song we ever wrote, ‘Condemned To The Gallows’. The video was supposed to come out in 2023, but Pierre’s computer crashed and most data was lost. Pierre, who also did the video ‘Planet Eaters’ for us, retrieved whatever he could and secretly salvaged the video over the last couple of years. The result is truly fantastic, so here it is, enjoy!”.
Fans can now check out “Condemned To The Gallows (2023 Version)”, featured on the band’s 40th anniversary release Morgöth Tales from 2023. The clip was directed by Pierre Ménétrier and produced by Esprit Pop, managed by Bruno Beaudouin.
Next up, Voivod will hit the road for a short North American run with BAT, followed by a more extensive European tour in the summer. More details and ticket links are available through the band’s official channels.
