Rebel Wolves studio has unveiled details about their upcoming vampire RPG, emphasizing a core gameplay element: the protagonist's duality. Project director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz describes the character as a modern-day Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a concept largely unexplored in video games. This duality, he believes, will offer a unique layer of surrealism, setting their game apart.
A key challenge, Tomaszkiewicz notes, lies in balancing the player experience between controlling a powerful vampire and a vulnerable human. This contrast is central to the game's design, but requires careful consideration. Many RPG mechanics are so ingrained in player expectations that their absence could lead to confusion.
The team faces the classic RPG developer dilemma: innovate or adhere to established conventions. Tomaszkiewicz cites Kingdom Come: Deliverance's controversial schnapps-dependent save system as a cautionary tale, highlighting the need to balance innovation with player expectations and genre conventions. Altering familiar elements, even subtly, can spark significant debate among seasoned RPG players.
The game's gameplay premiere is slated for Summer 2025.
