A bold statement has been made by Fool’s Theory in their announcement of Seven. After leaving CD Projeckt Red behind to form their own studio and a partnership with IMGN.PRO they have revealed their much anticipated project. An isometric RPG built on the Unreal Engine 4 they state it will be a redefinition of the genre. How you ask? Well, let’s get into that shall we?
Ed from Twinfinite: "Although I was pumped for a new Dark Alliance-like game, the similarities kind of end with them just being action-RPGs that feature quests, gear management, and other traditional elements of the genre. Which is fine, because Seven is instead its own game that, as crazy as it sounds, plays like an action-RPG version of Assassin’s Creed."
"Ex-Witcher" devs might be the best tagline for any new gaming studio.
An ARPG with a world like Assassin's Creed, but an actual soul and quality story? SOLD!
Elessar writes: "A man is sent to a penal colony with a task to perform. A few minutes into the game we can see miners crushing rocks to extract some precious materials. Wait a second... is this the right story? Despite all the similarities to Gothic, we are certainly not dealing here with a copycat of Piranha Bytes' iconic work. This is one of the most intriguing isometric RPGs that I had a chance to play in the last years. The team at Fool’s Theory, led by Jakub Rokosz, former Senior Quest Designer at CD Projekt RED, is currently working on Seven: The Days Long Gone in close cooperation with IMGN.PRO. What they had to show just before leaving for PAX East in Boston, left me wanting for more. Seriously, I want the whole thing already."
Fools Theory, the development Studio which consists of former Devs from the Witcher series and IMGN.PRO have today confirmed that Marcin Przybyłowicz will create the soundtrack for their upcoming project Seven
Bold statement indeed! Still, based on their job experience I'd think they might know a little about what they're doing!
Intrigued, but I will 🙌 for the release of this game.
