The man who is working on The Elder Scrolls Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall is working on The Wayward Realms…

It’s going to be a single-player RPG that the 2019-formed OnceLost Games are developing. Here, we can find Julian LeFay and Ted Peterson, who worked on the first two The Elder Scrolls games. They haven’t said much about their project for two years, but now, they revealed the game is called The Wayward Realms and that it is going to be a single-player open-world fantasy RPG, which does sound a lot like The Elder Scrolls.

“The Wayward Realms is set on a group of over 100 realistically scaled islands, known collectively as the Archipelago, where scores of factions vie for influence and power. Kingdoms strive to maintain their dominance, upstarts seek to earn a place at the top, and dynasties set generational plots into motion. Should the player earn a position of prominence, they may change the course of history,” reads the announcement.

The Wayward Realms already has a Steam page, where we can read that it’s “way bigger than most other games you can think of. Big cities with hundreds or thousands of NPCs, deep, dark, dangerous forests, huge mountain ranges, sprawling swamps and marshlands, vast oceans, and more, brought to life through dynamic, procedural generation.”

You won’t be bound to a class, but you can create “customized skills and abilities to craft your spells, potions, and enchantments.” The game’s world will be managed by a “virtual Game Master,” who will treat you differently depending on who you choose to be and the actions you take. “World events have very different effects in the life of a socializing aristocrat, a thief entrenched in underworld conspiracies, a scholar collecting ancient artefacts, or whatever role you craft for yourself,” the page adds.

“Choice and consequence are experienced on a scale never attempted before,” says a quote, which is why OnceLost Games even calls The Wayward Realms “a new class of game: the Grand RPG.” Too bad we have no idea when this game will even launch. There is no lack of ambition here.
