Warren Spector, the creator of classic games such as Deus Ex and System Shock is working on a new immersive sim, this time with multiplayer.
The game is called Argos: Riders on the Storm and, according to Otherside Entertainment’s website, is set in an “alien yet strangely familiar world.”
“As with Warren’s earlier work in the immersive simulation genre, the world will offer players the chance to “pick a playstyle” – to decide for themselves how to interact with a deeply simulated outdoor environment,” reads the description. “But be aware that the choices you make will have consequences, large and small, and directly affect your experience. You will be able to team up with friends to weave a unique story unlike that of any other players.”
The multiplayer element is a new one, not just for immersive sims but for Warren Spector himself. In an interview with IGN, Spector revealed that he was seeking out multiplayer as the next step in the genre.
