WolfEye Studios, the developer led by Arkane's founder Raphael Colantonio, is currently teasing its second game, and it sounds like fans of immersive sims should pay attention. The president and creative director of the team has said fans of Dishonored and Prey "will be happy" with its follow-up to Weird West.
Colantonio left Arkane Studios to form WolfEye with producer Julien Roby in 2019. The team's debut game is a top-down RPG with immersive sim elements, but it sounds like the studio's sophomore effort will be more in line with the titles that put Arkane on the map. "We’ll reveal a bit more about our next game in a few days," Colantonio has teased on X. "Fans of the previous 1st person games I was involved with (Dishonored and Prey) will be happy."
WolfEye Studios itself has also begun to hint at its upcoming game:
The project doesn't have a name yet, but has been described by the studio as a "retro sci-fi RPG". Colantonio has now pretty much confirmed it'll be a first-person immersive sim as well which, given his previous work at Arkane, is pretty exciting.
It sounds like we'll be learning more very soon, anyway. Are you looking forward to seeing WolfEye's next game? Tell us in the comments section below.

Weird west was a fun, open mystery in a monster filled west.
Prey was a fantastic game and the mooncrash dlc was top notch as well
Ahhhhhh two of my favourite games.
Ooooh interesting I absolutely loved Prey.
I never did finish Dishonored but loved what I played of it
If it's another "immersive sim" by some of the guys who made Prey 2016, count me in.
We need a PS5 port of that game, with an updated file system that loads faster.
Dishonored was a very pleasant surprise to me and I really enjoyed Prey as well. I actually enjoyed it's DLC "Mooncrash" more than the base game itself, oddly. Looking forward to seeing whatever these folks are cooking up next....
Well it depends, Weird West was unfortunately nothing like Prey and Dishonored.
Dishonored.prey.and weird west are all amazing games.so if its like dishonored or prey its welcome.those games are classics.word up son
I love Dishonored and I love Prey. I also thoroughly enjoyed Weird West even though I never finished it. I can’t wait to see what this team is cooking up!
I’m a massive Prey and Dishonored fan and didn’t know Weird West was made by the same people/person? Recommended???
I’m pretty excited about the new Bioshock games too (4 and Judas.)
This is as good as it gets for me, Dishonored is one of my top 3 all time favorites. Pleasa be good 🙏
Weird West was fun...for a while until it got a bit repetitive. But that was partly my own fault since I did too much exploring with the first character.
I would prefer a first person viewpoint for their next game though, as that tends to make immersive sims more...immersive.
@Perturbator There's an "unofficial" mod for the PC version made by one of the actual devs that puts Weird West into first person. It's not 100% perfect, but it's 98% perfect in my opinion, and I'd recommend it if you have a PC to play it on.
@everynowandben I think that one arrived after my playthrough, but if ever play it again I would give it a shot!
