If you follow The Elder Scrolls, you may already be familiar with The Wayward Realms — an upcoming fantasy RPG that shares a lot of DNA with Bethesda's hit serial. Two original Elder Scrolls creators have teamed up for this project, which aims to recreate all the best parts of the Elder Scrolls, simply with even more focus on narrative decisions and part-playing.

Thanks to a recent teaser trailer and Steam listing, we have more info than ever nigh The Wayward Realms. If the game can pull off everything it advertises, information technology should be worth a look from Elder Scrolls fans, too as anyone with an analogousness for PC-style RPGs.

While The Wayward Realms has been in development for more than a year, we've learned an awful lot about the game in the last few days. Offset and foremost, there's the teaser trailer, which you can view on YouTube and below:

  • Play the best PC RPGs
  • Besides attempt the best PC games
  • Plus: After 5 years, we at present know the final Street Fighter 5 graphic symbol

As fantasy RPG trailers go, it'due south about what you'd expect. There's a spooky forest, an adventurer on horseback, a glowing light and a large reveal on a mountain vista, with a castle far off in the distance. The earth of The Wayward Realms appears to have three moons, which is an interesting touch. It'south also a chance to hear some of the game's music past Eric Heberling, who also wrote the music for The Elderberry Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall.

In fact, if you liked Arena and Daggerfall, The Wayward Realms may well hold more than entreatment for y'all than Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim. That's because Ted Peterson and Julian LeFay — the minds behind the beginning two Elder Scrolls games — have teamed up once again to work on The Wayward Realms. The "go anywhere; do annihilation" vibe from the early Elder Scrolls entries seems similar information technology will be present in this new project every bit well:

"[Developer] Once Lost Games is creating a new open-globe fantasy RPG where choice, consequence, telescopic and function-playing will be experienced like never before in a realistically-scaled open globe in a new class of game: the M RPG," the game's Steam page explains. "The Wayward Realms is set on a group of over one hundred, realistically scaled, islands, known collectively as the Archipelago, where scores of factions vie for influence and power."

What could ready The Wayward Realms apart from The Elder Scrolls and similar games is its Game Master mechanic. The Wayward Realms will have a "virtual Game Master" that moderates the feel, much like a real Game Master does in a tabletop RPG. According to the Steam listing, this Game Master "keeps things interesting for you, making other characters and their factions react and plot their next move based on your actions." The details are a bit vague at nowadays, only whatever persona y'all craft for yourself — a thief, an aristocrat, a scholar and so forth — volition affect how other characters perceive you, and how the story unfolds.

While The Wayward Realms does finally have a Steam page, in that location'due south still no release engagement planned. The game does seem big and aggressive, peculiarly since One time Lost Games comprises a small development team. However, Elder Scrolls fans should continue their eyes on this one — specially since, all other things being equal, it could still come out before The Elder Scrolls Vi.
