Weird West Dev Revives Dishonored Spirit in New Immersive Sim

Wolfeye Studios, known for its indie title Weird West, has officially announced the development of a new first-person RPG that embraces the studio's roots in immersive simulation. Led by co-founder Raphael Colantonio, the team aims to bring a retro sci-fi aesthetic to players. Although specific details are scarce, the studio has indicated that the game will feature a deeply immersive world and offer players various ways to approach gameplay, similar to past titles like Dishonored and Prey. Community involvement is in the cards, with a limited private alpha test planned for 2025, allowing fans to provide early feedback on the title.

The upcoming game distinguishes itself from Weird West by shifting to a first-person perspective and adopting a retro sci-fi aesthetic while still focusing on immersive RPG elements. It aims to draw in fans of classic immersive sims and provide a rich gameplay experience similar to titles like Dishonored and Prey.

Founded by former Arkane Studios veterans, Wolfeye Studios has gained recognition for their unique approach to game development. Their first title, Weird West, offered a fresh take on immersive simulation through an isometric view. The team is now eager to combine their expertise in first-person RPGs with input from the community, which could lead to innovative gameplay experiences in their new venture.
