DON’T NOD entered the action RPG space with the 2018 diamond in the rough Vampyr, and the game’s critical and commercial success has clearly encouraged the developer to keep on investing in the genre. In Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden – which is due out sometime this year – DON’T NOD has another new action RPG launching soon, but as it turns out, there’s another new project in the works at the studio as well.
DON’T NOD has revealed that it’s also working on a new action RPG codenamed Project 12. Details about it are understandably scant, but the developer says it will be “richer in terms of game mechanics” and allow players to “immerse themselves in even more engaging stories”, and that it will “will represent a step up in terms of production value”.
Project 12 will be out sometime after 2025, so presumably, the game isn’t too far along in development right now.
Interestingly, DON’T NOD has also confirmed that it has launched a €40 million capital increase in order to strengthen its action RPG efforts, calling the genre a “very promising segment”.
The developer has previously confirmed that it plans on releasing eight titles between 2023 and 2025, of which six will be internally developed titles, while two will be indie-developed games published by DON’T NOD. Specifically, those two games are being developed by Tiny Bull Studios and Studio Tolima.
Meanwhile, out of the six internal games, in addition to the aforementioned Banishers, DON’T NOD has also officially announced Harmony: The Fall of Reverie, while it’s also confirmed that it’s working on a new narrative adventure title.
