Jeff Gardiner, CEO Something Wicked Games shared his vision for the new studio:

“Our goal with Something Wicked Games is to utilize our independence and creative autonomy to create the next evolution of open world RPGs. Our first project, Wyrdsong, has been my dream game for some time now, and I’m thrilled to finally share it today.”

Wyrdsong is set in a fictionalized depiction of Portugal in the middle ages. Players are challenged to question both their reality and the choices they make as Wyrdsong is set to expand, and redefine the RPG genre. The game is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 and it immerses fans in a dark historical fantasy where every decision has a consequence, both in this world and others yet to be discovered. 

No platforms or release date for the game has been announced. Head on over to Something Wicked Games’ official website to find out more.
