WolfEye Studios , an indie developer made up of ex - Arkane Studios veterans , teased its next secret plan Thursday : an action mechanism RPG with a retro sci - fi esthetic that looks to meld the looks and gameplay ofFalloutand Dishonored .
Studio president and Centennial State - founder Raphael Colantonio , who helped found Arkane , write on X ( formerly Twitter)earlier this week that the game will appeal to fans ofDishonoredandPrey , and just from the screenshots , that appear to be the cause . The robots and machines in the range look grimy and clumsy , with off - put humanoid features that are very reminiscent of Fallout ’s Atomic Age aesthetic .
“ Fans of the past games I have been involved with such as Dishonored and Prey will feel at home , as well as fan of RPGs in general , ” Colantonio said in a press release .
Colantonio expanded upon the untitled game ’s vision in interviews with various publications alongside WolfEye ’s other co - founder Julien Roby . Talking withEurogamer , Colantonio said , “ If there is such a affair as a continuum between Fallout and Dishonored , I would say Prey is somewhere in the centre because it ’s already more RPG than Dishonored , and this new game is somewhere close to Fallout , as far as the RPG - cape goes . ”
Colantonio and Roby did n’t reveal a lot of details , but here ’s what we know . The new game will be a first - person action RPG that takes seat in an alternate 1900s America — specifically , somewhere in the Old West . Most significantly , it ’ll be an immersive sim , so players can approach objectives in various way , a genre Arkane mastered over multiple game like the Dishonored series andPrey .
The game is officially out of pre - production , according to the developer , and is get in full output while looking for a publisher . While we wo n’t learn more until sometime next class , participant can bless up to perhaps get into the secret alpha trial on thestudio ’s web site , which is slat for 2025 .
In the meantime , you’re able to probably look out for more mite and vamp on social media . The studio apartment sort of announce the game in March during the Game Developers Conference , although it was justan look-alike of a whiteboardwith the words “ Retro Sci - Fi ” and “ First Person ” written on it . It ’s possible we ’ll see more lightheaded teases going onward .
Colantonio was one of the founding father of Arkane Studios , and was there for 18 years , work as the creative director on many of its most iconic title , such as the Dishonored series andPrey . Roby was there for 11 years , but recently run onBorderlands : The Pre - SequelandMafia 3at 2K. Its first secret plan was the isometrical third - personWeird Westin 2022 , which also featured a striking art style and immersive sim quality .
WolfEye is made up of many passee - Arkane developers , let in some that were hired followingArkane Austin ’s closureby Microsoft earlier this twelvemonth . This new game wo n’t on the nose be a new “ Arkane ” immersive sim , but it ’s skinny enough to appease people who mourn the going of the studio apartment follow the failure ofRedfall .
