Developer Owlcat Games is teasing the community with what’s coming next by sharing a “mysterious signal incoming…” on Twitch.tv. Additionally, there is a new page on the studio’s official site with the countdown to Saturday, June 7. Stay tuned!
What can it possibly be? The most mundane and down to Earth answer would be another teaser for Rogue Trader’s DLC Lex Imperialis or the upcoming project Dark Heresy. However, the these two titles have already received plenty of gameplay footage and trailers, with Lex Imperialis even outlining its features ahead of the launch.
That purposeful mystery and intrigue, and the not really Warhammer-like vibes of the “mysterious signal” above, led players to speculate that Owlcat Games is preparing to announce a new game, possibly set in a different universe from the studio’s previous projects. Popular guesses include The Expanse, Stargate and Babylon-5.
During the December 2024 Reddit AMA, Owlcat Games revealed that the studio is working on several projects in licensed IPs, with an original IP game is something the studio hopes to do eventually. At least one such project is developed using Unreal Engine.
Regarding a hint about an extra layer of strategy gameplay (Kingdom/Crusade/Ship management) in the next Owlcat title, the studio only said “Do you enjoy searching for answers?” – whether that meant players’ adventures in Dark Heresy or something else, stay tuned to find out.
