It's nice to hear that Björn and Jenny return to the scene with a new RPG. We know that Björn wanted to return to Gothic roots. More compact, highly interactive experience. I also took a certain Arx Fatalis vibe from the trailer which is nice.

Looks promising. I'm surprised it's first-person though since they've never went with that view before.

We could certainly do with a more grim ominous dungeon crawler in the tradition of Ultima Underworld / Arx Fatalis. There are very few modern games to scratch that particular itch.

That said, I like the somber mood and tone of the trailer but we'll have to see what the gameplay is like down the stretch.

I'm keen on seeing how this one turns out, we can never have too many good crawlers.
