Early this month, the studio behind the archaeological language journey Heaven’s Vault tweeted out seven words teasing their subsequent undertaking. At the time, the story-focused Inkle Studios had solely this to share: “swords, anguish, Britain, unrequited, forests, hope, and revenge.” As of immediately we’ve nonetheless bought no imagery to go along with all of the teasing however we do have some extra phrases they usually’re a lot much less summary this time.
The subsequent teaser that Inkle have given us immediately continues to be only a bunch of phrases, however this time they ship a setting and the beginnings of a plot. They’ve tweeted it out as a picture with textual content so right here’s the transcription for anybody who can’t see the picture above:
Britain, AD 673
Camelot has fallen.
The jealous Sir Mordred, with lies and hatred, has damaged the fellowship of the Round Table.
The knights of Arthur have scattered and all hope appears misplaced…
I do really feel vindicated that what I felt was my unimaginative intestine response to the seven phrases Inkle tweeted earlier within the month has turned out to be appropriate. I admit that I’m not precisely hip to all of the nuances of Arthurian legend however I’ll actually present up for a interval drama with swords and (perhaps?) sorcery.
So far, except some adept students can carry out some lore dissections for us, that’s all we all know. Inkle have responded to just some tweets about their announcement, calling their subsequent undertaking “different” from previous interactive fiction games about Arthurian legends. That ought to come as no shock, given how totally different Heaven’s Vault was from any narrative journey I’ve seen.
To discover out extra about no matter Inkle Studios is engaged on—which we nonetheless don’t have a reputation for—you’ll wish to regulate their Twitter account.
