We’ve been working very hard on this baby, for many years, with a small team of passionate experts in the immersive sim genre. For Executive Producer Julien and I, our passion started with being fans of Ultima 7<\/em> and Ultima Underworld<\/em> when we were kids; the immersive and simulation values we experienced back then as fascinated kids stayed with us to this day and forged our drive ever since.<\/p>\n

\n

I created Arkane Studios in \u201899. Julien joined me shortly after and was a key member behind Arx Fatalis<\/em>, Dark Messiah<\/em>, all the way to Dishonored<\/em>. Weird West<\/em> is our first attempt at a top-down immersive sim. It’s a genre that hasn’t really been attempted too often since immersive sims are traditionally in first person, but we believe the values translate well to the top-down angle, and it brings that comfortable nostalgic Ultima vibe that takes us back to our childhood.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Weird<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Because, ultimately, that’s why we do the games we do; we want to give to the new generations what we received as kids: the gift of immersion. A world where players allow themselves to be whoever they want and invest themselves emotionally in the characters they meet and the places they explore.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Weird West<\/a><\/strong> <\/em>— we hope you enjoy your stay.<\/p>\n
