Something Wicked Games will announce the open world RPG Wyrdsong with a short teaser trailer during gamescom 2022. The game is still in a very early stage of development and a release date has not been announced yet.

Wyrdsong is an open world RPG set in a fictional version of medieval Portugal. During gameplay, according to CEO Jeff Gardiner, players must “question the nature of reality,” which must be improved through the use of an “unreliable narrator.” “At Wiredsong, we have a strong focus on choices and consequences in a deep and meaningful way, which we hope has not been done before by an RPG,” Gardiner said. opposite the Washington Post. The word “wyrd” means something like “fate” in Old English.

Two scientists appear in the reveal announcement. There is a rather realistic medieval castle with knights in front of it. Then a kind of shadow version of the same world appears, where magic and supernatural beings are a reality.

Gardiner spent 16 years at Bethesda, including as lead producer on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76.
