A New RPG from WolfEye Studios: A Fusion of Fallout and Dishonored

An Intriguing Newcomer in the World of RPGs

WolfEye Studios, known for their enigmatic game Weird West—a 2022 isometric RPG that masterfully combined elements of stealth simulators—are now embarking on a more ambitious project. Led by former visionaries from Arkane, the studio is creating a first-person RPG that promises to merge the unique traits of Fallout and Dishonored in an alternative history setting enriched with elements of science fiction and American culture.

“We’re thrilled to officially announce that our upcoming game is actively in development, and it will be a first-person action RPG,” said WolfEye head and Arkane founder, Raphael Colantonio, via a press release. “Fans of my previous work, such as Dishonored and Prey, will find something familiar here, as will RPG enthusiasts in general.”

The project, which has yet to secure a publisher, has already completed its pre-production phase and will soon invite participants to a “limited alpha test” scheduled for early 2025. In an interview with Eurogamer, executive producer Julien Roby described the project’s overall vision as “Fallout meets Dishonored”—an exciting concept likely to resonate with long-time fans of Arkane’s work. The artwork presented so far evokes a hybrid between steampunk machinery and atomic-era automatons.

Meanwhile, Arkane Lyon is working on Marvel’s Blade, an action game featuring the iconic vampire hunter Eric Brooks. Microsoft’s recent closure of Arkane Austin has left a vacuum in the immersive sim genre—a genre significantly shaped by the studio’s work on the atmospheric sci-fi stealth masterpiece Prey in 2017. While no one can fully fill the void left by Arkane Austin, there’s some solace in knowing that WolfEye is prepared to carry part of that legacy forward, channeling it in a new direction.

Eurogamer reports that WolfEye remains a small team of about 50-60 people, with no plans for substantial expansion. This suggests that the yet-unnamed project will not follow the path of large-scale AAA blockbusters but will instead carve its niche in something more distinctive and creatively expressive.
