Mercury Steam, the team behind the rather underwhelmingly received Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 2, seems to be cooking up a new project if their official website is anything to go by.
By the look of the teaser image and the embedded website text, this time around the studio is trying its hand at sci-fi. ”Exploring new worlds, fighting strange creatures, discovering new heroes,” reads the blurb.
Which suggests to me a sort of Mass Effect vibe, although the accompanying image of a man sat in a cramped starship interior smoking a cigar has a more grimy, gritty feel. In any case, we should find out what Mercury Steam has planned ”soon.”
The developer’s previous game Lords of Shadow 2 took antihero Gabriel Belmont to the modern day, and also took him through some hideously annoying stealth sections which were universally panned. Still, there was some good stuff in there, and some lovely visual design, so I’m interesting to see what the team’s up to next.
