WolfEye Studios Strange West was perfect, but somehow overlooked, 2022 isometric RPG at times it felt like an immersive simulation stealth game. Now the team, led by former Arkane staff, is aiming for something bigger: a first-person RPG that mixes elements Fall out And Dishonourable alternative history, science fiction wrapped in American culture.
“We're very happy to be able to officially confirm that our next game is actively in production and is a First Person Action RPG,” WolfEye boss and Arkane founder Raphael Colantonio said in a press release. “Fans of games I've been involved with before, such as Dishonourable And Victim RPG fans, as well as fans, will feel right at home.”
The game is still looking for a publisher, but has completed pre-production and is currently taking sign-ups for a “limited private Alpha” test in early 2025. Executive producer Julien Roby It has been said Europlayer in an interview it was stated that the general aim was “something like this”Fall out meets DishonourableThe phrase “” can mean many things, but for longtime fans of Arkane-style games, it can feel like magic words. One of the concept art pieces shared It definitely looks like a cross between a steampunk gadget and an atomic age robot.
Meanwhile, Arkane Lyon is currently working on Marvel's SwordAn action game starring comic book vampire hunter Eric Brooks. Microsoft's decision to close its sister studioArkane Austin left a huge void in the immersive sim genre with its 2017 gloomy sci-fi stealth game VictimIt didn't get the love it deserved at the time. No one can ever replace that studio, but it's a small consolation prize that WolfEye is in a position to build on some of that work and kick-start its next evolution.
According to this EuroplayerThe studio is still around 50 to 60 people and doesn't plan on growing much larger than that. So whatever the currently unnamed project is, it won't be a triple-A blockbuster open-world game. Hopefully, it'll be something much more expressive and unique.
