Big Bad Wolf, the creative minds that have worked on the likes of Game of Thrones, Styx: Master of Shadows and even World of Warcraft, have unveiled plans to develop a new “dark” RPG for release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Billed as an all-new IP, the studio outlined their future goals through their official website, citing their past experience with narrative-driven content that will likely play a big part as this new vision comes to form.
“We strive to create games with strong narrative content, offering a new role-playing experience closer to paper RPGs, and we are currently working on our first title based upon a new IP. Our efforts are directed towards mature, inward-looking and dark games where emotions and choice are at the forefront of the player experience.”
Alongside the mission statement, Big Bad Wolf unveiled a couple of obscure screenshots from the nascent title, showcasing what appears to be a chessboard along with several characters in old-fashioned dressing. Whether this situates the studio’s next outing within a period setting remains to be seen, but these early signs certainly indicate that the game will at least in part have a historic context.
We’ll keep you right up to date with Big Bad Wolf‘s latest as more information is made available. For now, be sure to check out the soft focus shots in the gallery below and let us know what you’re hoping to see from the game in the comments.
