Focus Home Interactive reveals what they are calling an unannounced action/RPG,
though it's fairer to say they are announcing the game but not its title. This
is in the works at
Lords of the Fallen developer Deck13 for release in
2017 for Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. For now all they are revealing is
that this has a dystopian science fiction setting. Here's word:
We are
thrilled to announce our partnership with Deck13 Interactive, Frankfurt based
developer famed for games such as Lords of the Fallen, to bring you a new
premium action RPG IP set in a dystopian sci-fi future to be revealed by name at
a later date.
The new game will feature innovative combat mechanics and an original character
progression system based on modular upgrades gained through tight, visceral
combat.
Of the new partnership, Deck13 Interactive CEO’s Florian Stadlbauer and Jan
Klose said, respectively, "We are delighted to be working with Focus Home
Interactive. Our relationship with the company over the past few months has
created a lot of trust and confidence already. During the past years, the Focus
team has shown that they are extremely successful in marketing European titles
worldwide."
Klose, CEO and Creative Director, stated "After our recent major project, the
team at Deck13 is eager to take on the next challenge. We have learned a lot and
want to deliver an even greater experience to core gamers this time."
Focus Home Interactive’s Managing Partner Cedric Lagarrigue added “We are
ecstatic to announce this new partnership with one of the very best independent
European development studios. We’ve been excited by Deck13’s new project since
our first exchange with them, and as we’ve just got through the pre-production
phase, we’re fully convinced by their capacities to deliver one of the most
exciting RPGs to come in the future.”
The unannounced IP will be revealed at a later date, and the game is expected to
launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC with a retail and digital release in
2017.
