"Metal Gear Solid Meets Dishonored": Why This Upcoming Stealth Game Could Steal The Spotlight In 2025
It's not every day that a new, game-changing stealth action concept comes along, but could be that game in 2025. Developed and published by RiffRaff Games, a new studio out of Wellington, New Zealand, is a third-person stealth game with a unique concept and some ambitious goals.
was revealed with a trailer during the Xbox Partner Preview back in March 2024, and is scheduled for release sometime in 2025. It'll be available on Xbox Series X/S and PC. Its developers are already comparing it to some of the greatest in the genre, and although it's still a ways away, is certainly one to watch.
A post on the official X (formerly Twitter) account recently pitched the game as «meets ,» invoking two of the biggest names in the stealth genre — and with good reason. Even from early previews, it's clear that includes aspects of both: the main goal is to evade enemies, not fight them head-on, much like in. It also incorporates systems similar to the magic powers that players come to rely on in the series, allowing them to confuse, distract, and occasionally, directly harm enemies with the supernatural.
The protagonist of, Lady Luck, is played by 's own Meryl Silverburgh, Debi Mae West.
But there's another unique twist to it, too: also employs a card-based system for the player character's special powers. Instead of using a more typical mana bar like, players will have to select and activate cards from randomly dealt hands, observing the rules as written as they seek out powerful synergies.
There'll probably be a bit of a deck-building aspect to it as well, as players will likely unlock new cards as they progress through the game, and can decide which they prefer to keep in their hands as they develop an individual playstyle. Card abilities are vast and varied, allowing players to do everything from teleportation to trap creation to environment alteration. Certain cards may be better suited to certain areas, enemies, or a combination of the two.
