Arkane Studios founder Raphael Colantonio says WolfEye Studios, which he co-founded after leaving Arkane in 2017, will reveal more about its new game in a few days, and that fans of his previous first-person games are going to be happy.
Colantonio founded Arkane in 1999 and made a small but enduring splash with the Ultima Underworld-inspired Arx Fatalis. After that came the excellent , which didn't get nearly the love it deserved, and then , the game that really put Arkane on the map. He after the release of the underappreciated [[link]] , founded WolfEye, and in 2022 released , a game that very adeptly mashed up the immersive sim and isometric RPG genres.
In 2023, Colantonio's WolfEye cohort (and fellow Arkane veteran) Julien Roby said the studio had signed a deal with venture fund Galaxy Interactive to develop a "more ambitious" new game, and more than a year later it sounds like we'll finally start getting at least an idea about what [[link]] it actually is.
"We'll reveal a bit more about our next game in a few days," Colantonio today. "Fans of the previous 1st person games I was involved with (Dishonored and Prey) will be happy."
Frankly, I'm already happy just hearing that I'm going to be happy about whatever WolfEye has on the go. In case [[link]] there was any doubt, I've been a big fan of Arkane's work since the very start, and while I had some doubts about Weird West—a third-person immersive sim didn't strike me as likely to be very, well, immersive—it very quickly pulled me in and far exceeded my expectations.
I had to admit that I was a little disappointed that Colantonio didn't mention his earlier work in today's tease—I'm still holding out hope for Arx 2—but he explained the omission in a separate reply : "I could have mentioned them too. But only so many characters in a tweet." Fair enough, and now I'm really excited.
Roby and WolfEye joined in on the too:
Alas, whatever WolfEye reveals when the time comes, it doesn't sound like we'll be getting an in-depth look at the new game: Colantonio said the studio is showing it to "industry partners" but not to the press or public just yet. "," he added—a sentiment I wholeheartedly share.
