Wer sehnsüchtig auf Futter für The Elder Scrolls-Fans wartet, sollte einen Blick auf das Action-Rollenspiel Forsaken Realms: Vahrin's Call werfen. Ihr schlüpft hier in die Rolle eines Söldners im Tal von Vahrin, dessen Hauptstadt von grotesken Insekten-Monstern bedroht wird.
Genau wie die großen Vorbilder setzt der Titel auf ein komplett klassenloses Charaktersystem für maximale spielerische Freiheit. Ob ihr als schwer gepanzerter Krieger kämpft oder Magie mit Fernkampf mischt, bleibt allein euch überlassen. Die düstere Fantasy-Welt wurde dabei vollständig von Hand und ohne KI gebaut.
Im Trailer seht ihr bereits die actionreiche Kämpfe und die atmosphärische Beleuchtung der Unreal Engine 5 . Einen konkreten Releasetermin gibt es noch nicht, geplant ist aber, dass Forsaken Realms noch 2026 erscheint.
00:00Today, we're going to be taking a deep dive into our upcoming action RPG, Varin's Core.
00:07The world of Leda is entirely shrouded by darkness on one side, while scorched by endless sun on the other.
00:13These incredibly hostile areas are known as the Forsaken Realms, which, as you may have noticed, is the name of the universe we are meticulously crafting.
00:21Your first steps within the Forsaken Realms will take you to the Vale of Varin, a city on the brink of collapse, and the first of our narrative-focused adventures.
00:30You'll step into the boots of a lone mercenary, seeking to answer Varin's call for aid, and maybe earn some gold and glory along the way.
00:42It's clear that Varin needs a hero, and every hero needs a way to slay the countless fantastical beasts they'll encounter.
00:50Varin's call aims to cater to a wide range of playstyles, offering you the freedom to combat the unknown in a variety of ways.
00:56Whether you prefer to be a nimble-footed archer, flinging fireballs between arrows, or face your foes toe-to-toe as an axe-wielding whirlwind of death, the choice is yours.
01:07The game's classless system means you're never locked into playing a specific way.
01:11You have the ability to adapt, alter, or completely switch playstyles midway through your adventure.
01:16Unlock and spend perk points to obtain new skills and abilities, and level up your mercenary's core stats by gaining character experience.
01:26Hidden chests throughout the world will reward you with a range of weapons, armour, and unique trinkets, some providing unique effects to help you gain an edge in your next combat encounter.
01:35The local hamlet of South Vale acts as a hub, a safe space that provides various amenities for you to further develop your character.
01:45Use the forge to upgrade the weapons and armour you find throughout the world, and the dismantling bench to deconstruct items for materials.
01:52The spellcrafting table can be used to increase the power of your magic.
01:58Everything from an area-of-effect freeze attack that stops the enemy in their tracks, to ripping up the ground from underneath their feet with destructive force.
02:06Use the trap-making bench to upgrade and unlock new traps and gadgets.
02:11A nice complement to your arsenal, allowing you the opportunity to catch your enemies off guard.
02:16And finally, the alchemy cauldron.
02:20This can be used to custom brew a multitude of mixtures.
02:23From replenishing health and restoring stamina, to curing yourself of nasty status effects, these concoctions are sure to aid you on your journey.
02:32Okay, great.
02:33So you've equipped that shiny new helmet, purchased that slightly overpriced magic spell you always had your eyes on,
02:40and upgraded that new polybuster barrel to the volatile variant that has even more boom.
02:46You're ready to get back into the fight, but maybe you want a change of pace?
02:52Yes, yes, you're supposed to be the hero and save the city, but heroes need breaks too.
02:59Besides, there's a whole world to explore, and quirky characters from all walks of life need your help with their problems.
03:07Then you've come about the job.
03:10You might find yourself involved in a murder mystery, helping a local peacekeeper catch the criminal behind the death of her beloved friend.
03:19Or maybe you're on a mission to rid Varin of the gnom-y scourge that plagues the city,
03:25all because a crazy guy in an outhouse called you a hero?
03:31I know the truth!
03:35Maybe we should stick to the main task at hand after all.
03:39Varin's Call is soon to release on PC with full controller support, with the aim of releasing on consoles at a later date.
03:45Our game is inspired by classics like Fable and The Elder Scrolls, so if this sounds like your kind of adventure,
03:51consider heading over to Steam and adding it to your wishlist to stay up to date with us.
