The title's role-play mechanics will allow gamers to interact with all of the settings' unusual inhabitants, and different game systems will play off with each other in realistic ways. Despite the change in perspective, Weird West strives to maintain the same levels of player freedom and immersion that were presented in Arkane Studios' hits. While Raphael Colantonio's well-known projects like Prey and Dishonored were played from a first-person perspective, Weird West instead utilizes a top-down camera angle. Developed by Wolfeye Studios and announced back in December 2019, Weird West is an action RPG which follows the stories of five different characters throughout the bizarre titular setting. The developer's previous projects fall under the 'immersive sim' genre, being role-playing games that place an emphasis on immersion and player freedom.
