This new game follows WolfEye’s first venture, Weird West, which was released in 2022 to decent critique and scores. NEOWIZ hit gold itself in publishing Round8 Studio’s Lies of P, which gathered quite the interest and accolades in 2023. With its sophomore effort in the works, Colantonio is excited to have NEOWIZ on board.

“We have a burning passion for making a very specific type of game that blends RPG, action and simulation,” Colantonio shared in a statement for on the press release. “These games can only be successful when the publisher shares that same passion.”

“With NEOWIZ, we found a partner that truly understands our vision and is as committed as we are to delivering a unique, creative and memorable game experience that will appeal both to our long-term fans and new players alike,” Julien Roby added.
