WolfEye Studios, an indie developer made up of ex-Arkane Studios veterans, teased its next game Thursday: an action RPG with a retro sci-fi aesthetic that looks to combine the looks and gameplay of Fallout and Dishonored.
Studio president and co-founder Raphael Colantonio, who helped found Arkane, wrote on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this week that the game will appeal to fans of Dishonored and Prey, and just from the screenshots, that appears to be the case. The robots and machines in the images look grimy and clunky, with off-putting 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 fans 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 with Eurogamer, Colantonio said, “If there is such a thing as a continuum between Fallout and Dishonored, I would say Prey is somewhere in the middle because it’s already more RPG than Dishonored, and this new game is somewhere closer to Fallout, as far as the RPG-ness goes.”
Colantonio and Roby didn’t reveal a lot of details, but here’s what we know. The new game will be a first-person action RPG that takes place in an alternate 1900s America — specifically, somewhere in the Old West. Most importantly, it’ll be an immersive sim, so players can approach objectives in various ways, a genre Arkane mastered over multiple games like the Dishonored series and Prey.
The game is officially out of pre-production, according to the developers, and is entering full production while looking for a publisher. While we won’t learn more until sometime next year, players can sign up to possibly get into the private alpha test on the studio’s website, which is slated for 2025.
In the meantime, you can probably look out for more hints and teases on social media. The studio sort of announced the game in March during the Game Developers Conference, although it was just an image of a whiteboard with the words “Retro Sci-Fi” and “First Person” written on it. It’s possible we’ll see more silly teases going forward.
Colantonio was one of the founders of Arkane Studios, and was there for 18 years, working as the creative director on many of its most iconic titles, such as the Dishonored series and Prey. Roby was there for 11 years, but recently worked on Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and Mafia 3 at 2K. Its first game was the isometric third-person Weird West in 2022, which also featured a striking art style and immersive sim qualities.
WolfEye is made up of many ex-Arkane developers, including some that were hired following Arkane Austin’s closure by Microsoft earlier this year. This new game won’t exactly be a new “Arkane” immersive sim, but it’s close enough to appease people who mourned the loss of the studio following the failure of Redfall.
Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
