Weird West Dev Commentary Shows Off Combat, Quests & Pigmen
A new Weird West developer video gives gamers an in-depth look at WolfEye Studios' immersive role-playing experience. The upcoming title, created by Dishonored and Prey director Raphael Colantonio, follows five hardened characters as they venture through a dark fantasy version of the American frontier. As Weird West's March 31 release date rapidly approaches, WolfEye Studios has given players a brand-new look at the game's interconnected mechanics.
Before leaving Arkane Studios, Raphael Colantonio played an integral role in the development of both Dishonored and Prey. While Weird West appears to be a departure from these Arkane Studios classics due to its isometric top-down view, the gunslinger simulator is actually very similar to Colantonio's past work. Like Arkane's beloved role-playing games, WolfEye Studios' first projectwill let players approach gameplay however they choose. Stealth, combat and diplomacy are a few ways to get ahead in the Weird West, and environmental interactions also play a large role in helping players survive and thrive. Weird West's dynamic quests system will seamlessly reflect the player's actions, making each playthrough coherent and truly unique.
