Today we learn that a brand new independent development studio named Alt/Reality has opened in Brazil.
The studio, directed and founded by Lucas Ricardo (who previously worked in QA on games like Pillars of Eternity 2 and The Banner Saga 3) has revealed the design of one of the characters that have been created for an upcoming game.
You can find the full version of the artwork at the bottom of the post.
While it’s too early to hear about specific titles, we received an introduction via press release, which you can read below.
“This brand new studio is built by a talented Brazilian team, under the creative leadership of Lucas Ricardo (Creative Director and founder, former QA for games like Pillars of Eternity 2 and The Banner Saga 3). Alt/Reality aims to deliver projects that cover a wide range of themes, with titles that go from Medieval settings to futuristic and sci-fi universes. Although, our differential falls under what our players will be able to do in each of our upcoming games…
For every title, we will consider gameplay, movements, and animation based on martial arts, special powers, melee combat, and weapons. Firearms will be the least of your concerns since every character can be turned into a whole weapon by itself. At the moment, we have 1 title in active development and a lot of other projects already in consideration. We expect you to have fun while unleashing all your skills with combos and strategic actions using the environment. If you love good ol’ fun combat, impactful characters, and some weird stuff and sense of humor, we probably have something for you.”
A Twitter account is already available if you want to follow the studio’s progress.
