Former Bethesda devs tease open-world RPG Wyrdsong
destructoid.comIt wouldn’t be Gamescom Opening Night Live without a handful of vague teasers to set the mood and put out the feelers for newly-established studios looking to staff up.

Cool audio design, a sinister historical backdrop, and… not much else.
“Wyrdsong is an occult historical fantasy RPG set in a fictionalized Portugal in the middle ages,” according to the studio. “Players will be challenged to question both their reality and the choices they make as Wyrdsong is set to expand, question, and re-define aspects of what makes up the current Role Playing Game genre.”
The Wyrdsong teaser led with the team’s prior experience, which included games like Fallout 3 and New Vegas, Skyrim, Dragon Age Inquisition, and The Outer Worlds.
