After leaving Arkane Studios, Dishonored co-creator Raf Colantonio founded Wolfeye Studios and the company released the isometric immersive sim Weird West, but Wolfeye is now doing something that fans may like even more. Production has begun on a new first-person action-RPG with a retro-sci-fi aesthetic, and Dishonored (and Prey) fans can help shape development.
The still-untitled game, which just finished its pre-production phase, looks to draw heavily on the old-but-new technology seen in games like Dishonored, with huge automatons visible in concept art that Wolfeye shared alongside the announcement. Wolfeye says it’s a brand-new IP that will be “built upon the DNA of earlier Arkane games to deliver a rich and detailed world, freedom of how to play, and a deep RPG experience.”
With Dishonored studio Arkane Austin shuttered by Microsoft, that may make Wolfeye’s game its spiritual successor, and Colantonio is confident in the team’s vision–but he also values your input. A sign-up form for a chance to get into a limited alpha test is available on the studio’s website.
“Fans of the past games I have been involved with such as Dishonored and Prey will feel at home, as well as fans of RPGs in general,” he added. “While we look for the right publishing partner, our sights are firmly set on getting our community involved with the game’s development with a limited private alpha in 2025. We cannot wait for fans to see what we are working on.”
