Lords of Shadow dev MercurySteam making some kind of sci-fi game
Tom Sykes Mar 19, 2016
MercurySteam made the respected Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and also its...less respected sequel. Still, it's a developer worth keeping an eye on: there was a lot of technical and artistic wizardry in that first game in particular. A few months after posting a mysterious teaser image on its website, the dev has replaced its entire site with a teaser for its mysterious new sci-fi game.
There's no name yet, but we know that it's a game about "exploring new worlds, fighting strange creatures, [and] discovering new heroes". I'm not sure what that means, exactly, but it also seems to be a game about a cigar-chomping dude controlling a mech. (See above.)
The new teaser site has some gubbins about an expedition, a crew in hibernation, and an on-the-nose reference to Alien's ship A.I., Mother. It also features a countdown to April 15, which is presumably when the game will be revealed.
In the accompanying press release (it seems a bit mad to release a press release for a teaser site), it's revealed that former Konami Head of Studio—and producer of the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow series— Dave Cox is working with the team on the game. Here's some art:
oh, nothing but great news for me these past months, DMC5's possible continuity, NT with the secret project and dontnod with vampyr.. and the best thing of em all are the three newcomer NT, dontnod and mercurysteam is still going
