Raphaël Colantonio, the co-founder of Arkane Studio, known for creating Dishonored series and directing Prey, departed from Arkane in 2017 to pursue independent ventures and indulge in music for a while. He then established a new studio called WolfEye Studios in 2019, with their first game, Weird West, set to release in 2022.
Most recently, WolfEye unveiled a new RPG with a first-person perspective, set in a retro-futuristic, robotic-infested world. The game is scheduled for an alpha testing phase in 2025, with Colantonio himself stating that this new game will undoubtedly bring joy to fans of Dishonored and Prey.
WolfEye Studios boasts former employees of Arkane among their ranks, with a sizable office located in Austin, Texas. The recent closure of Arkane Austin by Microsoft has possibly shifted the spotlight onto WolfEye’s upcoming projects as the new hope for fans of the original Arkane games.
TLDR: Raphaël Colantonio left Arkane to form WolfEye Studios and is set to release a new RPG game in 2022, with alpha testing in 2025, catering to fans of Dishonored and Prey. Former Arkane employees now contribute to WolfEye’s endeavors, making them a beacon of hope for fans of the original Arkane era.
