Welcome to Wolfeye Studios: Crafting the Future of First-person Action-RPGs
After his time at Arkane Studios, Raf Colantonio, the co-creator of Dishonored, ventured out to establish Wolfeye Studios. Their first creation, Weird West, offered a unique isometric immersive sim experience. However, Wolfeye Studios is now delving into a new venture that fans of Dishonored and Prey will undoubtedly be excited about. The studio has recently commenced the production of a fresh first-person action-RPG with a retro-sci-fi vibe and aims to involve fans in shaping its development.
This upcoming game, still without a title, has concluded its pre-production phase and teases a blend of old-but-new technology akin to what players have witnessed in Dishonored. Concept art shared by Wolfeye features massive automatons, offering a glimpse into the imaginative world awaiting players. According to Wolfeye, this new IP will build upon the foundation laid by earlier Arkane games, promising a rich, detailed world, player freedom, and a deep RPG experience.
As Arkane Austin closes its doors under Microsoft’s ownership, Wolfeye’s upcoming game may serve as a spiritual successor to Dishonored. Colantonio expresses confidence in his team’s vision while also seeking input from fans. If you’re eager to get involved, Wolfeye Studios offers a sign-up form for a chance to participate in a limited alpha test on their official website.
“Fans of my previous works such as Dishonored and Prey will find familiarity, along with RPG enthusiasts in general,” Colantonio reassures. “As we seek the perfect publishing partner, our primary focus remains on engaging our community in the game’s development through a private alpha set for 2025. We can’t wait to unveil our creation to our eager fans.”
