Next Spiders game, but I don't expect it before 2022. Type: Action/Adventure/RPG King Louis XVI's automata army is terrorising the citizens of Paris. Join the Revolution as Aegis and fight against this reign of terror to try and change the course of history!
Steam page
From Nacon "presentation": - more action oriented then their previous games but still has quests and side quests. - You play as Aegis, a female automata - Aegis is Queen Marie-Antoinette bodyguard - King Louis XVI is trying to crush the French Revolution with his automata army (the idea sprung from Louis XVI liking automata in real life) - more verticality and movement (like climbing up balconies) - Aegis has weapons stashed in her body and you can upgrade her mobility, defenses, change weapons, etc. - 7 families of weapons - game is set in Paris (they did research to have buildings from the era as some didn't survive to today) - they want combat to exploration to combat transitions to be more fluid. |

Steam page I enjoyed Greedfall, so I'll definitely keep a watch on it.

Pffff, I'm out, sounds like someone tried to apply the maximum rule of cool to some arbitrary alternative history scenario. Sounds completely over the top and uninspired to me. Sorry Spiders, I liked Greedfall for being an original and fairly well developed fantasy scenario. This one on the other hand doesn't interest me at all. Only thing missing here is Napoleon on a dinosaur with laser eyes.

Was Napoleon interested in having a dinosaur mount and laser eyes? Louis XIV liked automata in real life (and sciences/research in general). They just created an alter-Earth take on the French Revolution where he was able to get them as war machines instead of toys and clocks.

Haven't played Greed fall yet, or any other Spiders game. Could play it via Family Sharing. I keep forgetting the game exists.
This trailer looks stupid to me and the premise eye rolling. But if the narrative is half decent, I guess I could be swayed.

What a surprise, a French video game company trying to twist facts about the utter disaster that was the French Revolution.  Also seems like it isn't even a RPG like Greedfall, but more a Dark Souls-like game. |

Unsure about this one. Will have to wait for more information but the setting and possiblity of going more action over rpg arnt really appealing to me.

Well, with that logic that's like saying Fallout is historical revisionism. You know, I doubt they're going into this evil-mustache-twirling-trying-to-change-history thing that whatever it is that your implying.

So, I guess I will volunteer to be that person...
I need to know, is it companion-based like their other games? And will Aegis have romance options?
Originally, I was hoping to create a full "team," with my straight female Vulcan, gay male Mancer, straight male De Sardet, and then a gay female. It doesn't appear like that is going to happen for the moment.

Unsure about this one. Will have to wait for more information but the setting and possiblity of going more action over rpg arnt really appealing to me. Going by the few things I was able to find, I think the action over rpg is because: - no companions (wasn't mentioned as a feature so I expect them to be out, there could still be recurring NPCs thought like Marie-Antoinette who appears to give you orders initially) - more movement/verticality (a big departure from their previous games) - no gender selection (there is only Aegis a robot that looks female in appearance) - more fluid exploration to combat transition They do mention trying to change the course of history on Steam and the Nacon presentation mention quests and side quests, so I suspect there are still some RPG choices there. I expect Aegis's character building to be similar to their previous games too (it haven't changed much since Mars War Logs). Also, it haven't even been a year since Greedfall released and Spiders is a 20ish people studio. I suspect their new owner (Nacon, aka ex-Big Ben Entertainment) wanted something out fast for ROI reasons which would explain some of the design choices. I also expect the length to be under 20 hours because of that. I don't expect to hear anything from it until late in 2021 anyway. Unless they pull a Mars War Logs and make it in 9 months...

I was hoping they would make a party-based rpg, so this is a bit disappointing. I am not against verticality, but it is also not very exciting for me as a big new thing for them. I will wait for more details to decide if I will get it.

Yeah, I'm afraid I'm in the "this sounds stupid as ****" crowd, though I feel like a killjoy of an old man just saying so. Some things, regardless of their individual merits, don't go well together, like oil and water, pineapple and pizza. Or NieR: Automata and Assassin's Creed: Unity. Funny you should say that, because I'm pretty sure I came across a book where Napoleon rides a "fire-breathing porcelain rooster". But at least that's whimsical; this is just... ugh. |

I suspect I might pass on this. The premise doesn't sound bad, but I have the feeling it won't be really much of an RPG. Last thing I want from Spiders is a combat game.

Seems absurd, but off the wall enough that I’m interested
Playing as a creepy porcelain doll filled with weapons would be novel at least. I’m fine being a set character but I want to know how much choice and dialogue I’ll get.
