The Polish game devs at event Horizon just announced their newest game today via a cinematic trailer. The game, Dark Envoy, is being billed as a non-linear RPG that takes inspiration from games like Divinity, XCOM, and even Mass Effect.
Players will fly around the world using a Skyship. This also serves as your main base of operations. You will work to seek out mythical locations, and explore procedurally generated dungeons. The world map will apparently "adjust with the passing of in-game time." This means that locations will randomly respawn and the world will become progressively more challenging as time goes on.
The game will make its official debut at Gamescom 2019, which begins on August 20. More information about the game can be found at the Dark Envoy website. Alternatively you can always add Dark Envoy to your Steam Wishlist if you're into that. Dark Envoy will be released on the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in "late 2020."
Key Features
- Non-linear RPG with turn-based combat accompanied by a real-time pre-combat phase where tactics and party power are equally important.
- Player choices impact the world: it can be destroyed or saved, and the stories that unfold will lead to multiple endings reflecting the characters’ personalities and decisions.
- Co-written by Michael Chatfield, an Amazon Top 100 Science Fiction / Fantasy writer.
- 15 unique character classes to discover - with the ability to mix skill trees - including some rare classes which can only be found in remote locations or through chained quests.
- Combat animations recorded using the studio’s own mocap and a kung-fu master acting out various fighting styles.
- Can be played solo, two player co-op, as well as a new mode called Player vs World where Player 2 acts as the final boss seeking to destroy Player 1 before they become too powerful.
- High-replayability factor due to large pool of quests and world events. One cannot uncover all of the content in a single playthrough.
