Fool’s Theory and 11 bit studios have released an all-new trailer that explores the story behind the upcoming isometric RPG The Thaumaturge. The trailer dives into 1905 Warsaw, where Wiktor Szulski strolls the streets of the melting-pot city filled with notorious bars, luxury hotels, and seedier locations. He is, according to the developers, “the kind of guy who won’t think twice about diving into the darkest corners of the city to investigate and stand up against the Russian Okhrana who controls the streets.”
The trailer takes viewers on a tour of Warsaw as Wiktor uses his thaumaturgy powers during the “To Dust You Shall Return” questline that unfolds in locations across the city. Viewers will get a peek at a luxury hotel, a London bar, and a shady neighborhood. It offers a peek at several game features and gameplay adventures.
Features include
- Shape your story – as a full-fledged RPG, it allows you to alternate your choices and make you deal with the aftermath.
- Develop your character – creating your own version of the thaumaturge will allow you to approach situations in different ways.
- Experience unique turn-based combat and defeat your foes using human attacks and skills as well as psychic strikes delivered by salutors.
- Influence and manipulate the temperaments of other characters to bend their will to your liking.
- Tame the power of salutors – use the unique set of their skills to gain an advantage while exploring the world and when bringing your adversaries to their knees.
- See the world that’s inevitably gone – explore the uncommon, heavily researched historic period of the early XX century Warsaw, where crime and luxury are often two sides of the same coin. Meet historical figures and learn about their involvement in the story.
- Created in Unreal Engine 5 to deliver a detailed & beautifully crafted world.
The Thaumaturge is prepped for a February 20th release date for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GoG.
