Wolfeye Studios Reveal Early Details of Next Game in Development

AUSTIN, TX. (August 8, 2024) – Wolfeye Studios, Inc., an independent development studio co-led by President Raf Colantonio, founder of Arkane Studios and co-creator of the award winning and critically acclaimed games Dishonored and Prey, today announced that their next game, which is a First Person Action RPG, just wrapped Pre Production and is now full steam ahead in Production. Wolfeye's intention is to get input from the community early on in the development process to help make the game the best it can be by running an exclusive and limited private Alpha.This announcement follows a playful tease at Game Developers Conference (GDC) where the studio shared an image of a whiteboard from their Austin office with the words "Retro Sci-fi" and "First Person" scribbled on it.

Wolfeye Studios is a team made up of world class industry talent who primarily came from Arkane Lyon and Arkane Austin, the latter of which permanently closed in May this year. Co-founded by industry veterans Raf Colantonio and CEO and Executive Producer, Julien Roby, also a former Arkane executive on Dishonored and other Arkane Studios games, Wolfeye Studios first game, an isometric 3rd person action RPG called Weird West, made it's announcement debut at The Game Awards in 2019 and was published by Devolver Digital in March 2022.  It was also nominated for "Best RPG of the Year" at the 26th D.I.C.E. Awards.  This next game will be an ambitious new IP built upon the DNA of earlier Arkane games to deliver a rich and detailed world, freedom of how to play and a deep RPG experience. 

"We are so happy to be able to officially confirm that our next game is actively in production and that it is a First Person Action RPG," explained President and Creative Director, Raphael Colantonio. "Fans of the past games I have been involved with such as Dishonored and Prey will feel at home, as well as fans of RPGs in general. While we look for the right publishing partner, our sights are firmly set on getting our community involved with the game's development with a limited private Alpha in 2025. We can not wait for fans to see what we are working on."
