Any 0451 games on the horizon or nah? (stealth immersive sim beg thread)

[Heid]

Haven't been exactly been keeping track but Deus Ex, Thief, Dishonored and Prey are all in a coma right now right? Am I missing anything?

Tried googling for upcoming imm sims and got nada

Is our best bet Dishonored 3? Is there an indie game/early access title to keep our eyes on? Anything plz

 

[PurpleMoustache]

We have the system shock remake and system shock 3, but that's about it

Cyberpunk 2077 is likely a 2020 game, and Breath of the Wild's sequel is confirmed to be following the same formula as BotW, so if it happens to be a Majora's Mask style iteration on BotW, that game could be here in the next year or two.

I think Cyberpunk 2077 might potentially count.

Underworld: Ascendant came out a couple months ago but it was not well received.

Dishonored 3 probably ain't happening for a while

Have you seen Synther?

Arkane Studios has specifically said the Dishonored series is "resting."

The System Shock remake is the nearest immersive sim I can think of. Or maybe that game from the ex-Irrational developers, Void Bastards. Unless we're counting Consortium: The Tower, but I have a feeling they're having development/budget trouble.

Systems-focused game design is fascinating. Even though they're not really immersive sims, stuff like Divinity: Original Sin 2, and Breath of the Wild are scratching the same itch.

edit: Since I'm the first person to mention it in the thread, I think some people may be interested in reading up on Void Bastards: Void Bastards is System Shock 2 meets XCOM and it looks great

You have Gloomwood as an upcoming indie immersive sim (though it's more on the Thief side of things).

Work on Tangiers has also picked up in recent months.

There rumours about more than one AAA immersive sim in the works, based on studio hirings, but nothing announced. Probably soon, though.

How did I miss this thread? Immersive sims (or whatever you might call them) are without a doubt my favorite kinds of games.

Anyway, some upcoming 0451 games that haven't been mentioned yet:

Skin Deep (stealth immersive sim by Blendo Games)
The Occupation (comes out next month)
Pathologic 2
Monomyth (an Ultima Underworld-like, supposed to come out 2019/2020)
Shadows of Doubt

Also on early access there's The Blackout Club (by the former Bioshock devs who made The Magic Circle) and The Light Keeps Us Safe (by the Sir You Are Being Hunted devs).

Edit: The Spy Who Shrunk Me is another early access title. Also, isn't Stalker 2 a real thing now?

Already known, but this still hurts.

I did my part, goddammit! I double-dipped on D1 and triple-dipped on 2.

I was under the impression that the System Shock remake was canned. What's the latest on that?

There is Consortium: The Tower, a sequel to Consortium. It's a game i have been looking forward to since it was first revealed. According to Wikipedia it's supposed to come out in 2019, but who knows how reliable that information is.

It's alive and well. Development was temporarily paused early last year as Night Dive realised it'd fell victim to feature creep.

 

[Exist 2 Inspire]

Thanks for some of the suggestions itt, put a whole bunch of games on my wishlist.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Does Donut County count as one?

I would just you keep an eye on indie games. Many of those have immersive sim elements today. It's no longer just an AAA thing.

Yeah i know, i played some of them like the Consortium games for example. I'm just terrible with discovery, so i appreciate all the suggestions in this thread.

It'd be nice if there was some way for the indie immersive sims to find a larger audience. Some are fairly well-known (like the Consortium games), but I doubt most people have ever even heard of other recent indie stuff like Brigand: Oaxaca or Near Death. An immersive sim megathread of some sort would be helpful I think.
