Fool’s Theory, a new indie studio founded by a core team of former The Witcher 3 developers from CD Projekt RED, has teamed up with the Kholat creators and publishers at IMGN.PRO to begin development on a brand new project titled simply Seven. (Not to be confused with the classic noir crime thriller starring Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Spacey. And thankfully not stylized Se7en.)
Powered by Unreal Engine 4 and still very early in development (the project has only been in progress since June), Seven is described as being a 3D isometric RPG inspired by Thief, featuring stealth, tactics, a nonlinear storyline with branching choices and plot twists, and parkour traversal–both horizontal and vertical–in a sandbox world.
In the game, you will play as a lone traveler wandering about the open world known as the Empire of Vetrall, a “beyond post-apocalyptic” setting that’s a thematic mix of the Dark Ages with ultra-advanced technology.
“Our greatest ambition is to bring a breath of fresh air into classic, isometric role playing games – a genre where the player was traditionally chained to the ground,” said Jakub Rokosz, Project Lead at IMGN.PRO and Fool’s Theory founder. “Seven will bring a new type of exploration as well as open new possibilities for tactical planning and stealth gameplay. We are fully aware how big the challenge is, but it only gives us a greater motivation.”
“Finally, we can unveil our new project that has already been in progress since June,” said Bartosz Moskała, IMGN.PRO co-owner. “We are setting the bar for ourselves on a brand new level, aiming to achieve a cutting edge gaming experience. The IMGN.PRO development team, freshly supplemented with the former Witcher 3 devs, currently consists of 16 experienced gamedev professionals, working full time on Seven.”
All of the images seen on this page are concept art, because obviously screenshots and trailers aren’t ready to be shown for a game at such an infantile stage of development. Seven will be out on PC, that much I can tell you. A bit more information about the game world is available to read up on at seven-game.com.
