Open-world fantasy RPG The Wayward Realms is an Elder Scrolls-like more in the style of Daggerfall than Skyrim, and it’s been made by several of the creators of The Elder Scrolls series. Now the team has released a creepy new trailer that feels more than a little Skyrim – or even Lord of the Rings.
It’s been over ten years since Skyrim and there’s still no real sign that The Elder Scrolls VI will be out anytime soon – so now’s the perfect time for The Wayward Realms, a more Daggerfall-like fantasy RPG with a massive procedurally-generated world, from several of the original developers behind the first two The Elder Scrolls games.
It’s been over five months since the first teaser trailer and now developer OnceLost Games has a new, creepier glimpse at the RPG with the “Lullaby” trailer below. It’s a little bit like a spookier version of the Skyrim teaser, or even Amazon’s recent Lord of the Rings series title reveal – only with more undead nightmares.
The lyrics also offer a small hint at the locations and events of the game, with the mention of a place called Daelle “[bathing] in fire” and somewhere called Sidh trembling “to Sarkanic roars”. It’s a nice tease for sure, but the undead lord on his creepy throne is the highlight of the trailer.
There’s still no hint as to when The Wayward Realms will release, but as The Elder Scrolls VI is still only in pre-production four years after its announcement Once Lost’s RPG has a good shot at getting here first. Let’s hope we won’t be waiting long for a proper gameplay trailer.
