Polish developers Mighty Koi have announcedThe Night Wanderer, a new sci-fantasy SoulslikeRPGwith metroidvania level design – yes, yes, tick those genre boxes! - in which you are a grim bearded swordsman exploring an alien world that looks a bit like pre-industrial Scandinavia.

The game is based on Jarosław Grzędowicz’s book series “Lord of the Ice Garden”. Polish videogame developers in general have a pretty great track record for adaptingsci-fiorfantasystories from other media, and this certainly has atmosphere, though I can’t say I’m jumping at the chance to play another moody bloke with a blade. Here are some concept artworks of the title character and a few locations.
