A former producer of the first two Witcher Games has set out to create his own groundbreaking RPG. Tomasz Gop is the director of Lords of the Fallen, a game that promises to be in the same vein as Dark Souls and Borderlands, according to the creator's interview with Eurogamer.
"I would say Dark Souls, I would say Borderlands in terms of the experience of developing your character."
Lords of the Fallen promises to not be a walk in the park, as the creator explains that, unlike some RPG's that allow you to cut down enemies like blades of grass, the enemies in this game will be tougher than most games.
"It's a challenging game, action RPG, which means a lot of advanced combat...When you walk through a location, and you have to fight 10 enemies, that takes around an hour. When you fight in Mortal Kombat, when you fight in Tekken, that's why it takes so long - Dark Souls is probably a strong reference as well. But we've done a lot of things differently. For example, we have a skill tree. I would call Borderlands here, because we're gonna have something like action skills in the game, so classes, stuff like this."
Not much is known about the game so far, but Gop has confirmed that the game is appearing on PC, the PlayStation 4, and the next-gen Xbox. Gop and his team at Deck 13 are excited about the possibilities that the new consoles bring to the table, especially the PlayStation 4.
"...I couldn't even imagine making a tessellated game on the current generation of consoles. It might even be one of the biggest gaps. And on the next ones [consoles] it's going to be standard, in my opinion. And you just can see more on the screen right now, because it's gonna fit and the memory's gonna be fast."
He adds, "I don't think it's going to be huge news what's inside" the next Xbox (via IGN).
