The as-yet untitled ‘ambitious action RPG’ has a clean look - and a giant
More than three years after formerDragon Agelead designer Mike Laidlaw was revealed to have joined forces with fellow games industry veterans behind the likes ofAssassin’s Creedundernewfounded studio Yellow Brick Games, the developers are finally teasing their first game. And yup, it’s definitely a fantasy game!
Honestly, that’s mostly what can be gleaned from the brief tour through some clean-looking fantasy environments - including staples like a set of grand-looking ruins, rocky hillsides and lush forested paths - in a sub-30-second tease for the studio’s as-yet untitled debut.
We do get to see a sort of blue warg-looking dog-creature wandering around before the trailer closes with a glimpse at a hammer-wielding giant who looks to be clad in chunky stone armour too, though, potentially hinting at the kinds of enemies we might be taking on and the vibe of its fantasy setting.
Yellow Brick have previously described their upcoming debut as an “ambitious new action RPG” built around “emergent systems” that aim to “create rich, interactive worlds”. What that actually means in an age of the emergent gameplay seen in the likes ofDragon’s Dogma 2andBaldur’s Gate 3, however, remains to be seen. (Update:This article previously referred to Private Division as the publishers of Yellow Brick’s first game; alongside the teaser, the developers announced that they would now be self-publishing their debut.)
Their teaser video hints at when we might learn more about their long-awaited debut: April 2nd, via IGN First. That’s next Tuesday, so mark it in your calendars accordingly and take a collective breath for the next fantasy RPG that might absorb every hour of your free time.
