Former DICE developer David Goldfarb has revealed that he and his new team at Swedish studio The Outsiders are developing a new role-playing game.
The game, which will be developed for the PC, is the first big project for Goldfarb since he left Overkill Software where he’d been working as game director on PayDay 2.
Fellow ex-DICE staff member Ben Cousins is also joining The Outsiders as company CEO. Details on what the pair will be helping to create are thin on the ground, but Goldfarb says he’s been trying to shoehorn RPG elements into various projects he’s worked on for years.
”I’m interested in systemic story stuff,” he told Eurogamer. “I know Ken (Levine) has recently been talking about this. I have another way I want to try and do it. But I think it won’t be a game of cut scenes.”
”If the guys at Naughty Dog want to go do that - and they’re superb at what they craft - then that’s awesome. I would rather find the stories that exist in… people use the sports analogy a lot, but when you play Madden, for example. The dream is to combine some of that with some of this.”
Not a lot to go on, admittedly. The only other thing Goldfarb confirmed was that the RPG would most likely not be free-to-play, despite Cousins’ background as an F2P consultant.
