wyrdsong, <\/em>a fantasy adventure set in Portugal during the Middle Ages, is coming soon from former Bethesda Game Studios designer Jeff Gardiner and Obsidian Entertainment alumnus Charlie Staples. The open-world RPG was announced Tuesday to begin Gamescom 2022.<\/p>\n

Gardiner, a 16-year veteran of Bethesda Game Studios with production credits on Fallout 3<\/em>, <\/em>The Elder Scrolls<\/em> 4: Skyrim<\/em>, Fallout 4<\/em> <\/em>and <\/em>Fallout 76<\/em> left Bethesda in August 2021 to form Something Wicked Games with Staples, a design director with a 15-year tenure at Obsidian. Their studio has backing from Chinese mega-publisher NetEase.<\/p>\n

wyrdsong<\/em> will explore an alternate history set in medieval times, where the player inhabits an \u201cunreliable narrator\u201d character, much like the roles of Fallout<\/em> 3<\/em>, Fallout: New Vegas<\/em>and The Elder Scrolls 4: Skyrim<\/em>, which Staples and Gardiner both worked on. The new studio is building up staff and seeking a publishing partner, hence the lack of a launch window for wyrdsong<\/em>which is in development for consoles and PC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
