A new trailer for Dark Envoy shows us some of the gameplay that awaits Gamescom visitors this week. This is an upcoming non-linear RPG developed by Event Horizon. It has an "emphasis on tactical combat layered with lore and strategy."
Players will get to explore the world using a Skyship. This also serves as the main base of operations. Players will get to seek out new and exciting locations, dive into procedurally generated dungeons, and complete a variety of objectives. The world map will change as time passes in game. Some locations will randomly respawn, while the world as a whole grows more and more dangerous.
Dark Envroy is slated to arrive in late 2020 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You can currently add the game to your Steam Wishlist.
