IMGN.PRO announces Seven, an upcoming Unreal-engine RPG in development at Fool's Theory, the studio recently formed by former employees of CD Projekt RED. They offer mixed messages about this, saying that it is inspired by Thief but also that it will "redefine the genre. Either way, it seems safe to say that John Doe has the upper hand. The game's gigantic website is online with information and images, and here's part of what they have to say about the game:

As a lone traveler roaming the world of Empire of Vetrall, you'll be constantly facing its cruelty and dual nature. The Apocalypse that took place many centuries ago didn't wipe out all. Humanity or what's left of it, has slowly recovered, but the shape and condition of this new world is far from what it used to be. In this new reality Dark Ages are constantly intertwining with the ancient advanced technology, and it doesn't make it any easier for those who were lucky or unlucky enough to survive.

Seven is a Thief-inspired, 3D isometric RPG in which players will get a chance to freely explore the sandbox world of Vetrall Empire. Set in a 'beyond post-apocalyptic' environment the title will redefine the isometric RPG genre. The classic gameplay is totally reinvented by the protagonist’s ability of free-traversing obstacles on any height, both horizontally and vertically, thanks to his parkour skills. The story created by the minds behind The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, will be far from black and white. Lots of branching choices and difficult moral decisions resulting in surprising plot twists, are to be expected from this upcoming PC RPG fueled by Unreal Engine 4.
