An open-world RPG set in a dark fantasy world

Wyrdsong is an open-world role-playing game (RPG) that is set in a dark fantasy world with a historical context. The player will take on the role of a fully customizable protagonist in a fictionalized version of Portugal during the Middle Ages.

One of the more notable points about Wyrdsong is that it is being helmed by former Bethesda lead Jeff Gardiner, who has previously worked on Fallout 3 and served as project lead on Fallout 76. Like those games, Wyrdsong promises a large world to explore in a non-linear fashion.

A fictionalized historical setting

One thing that sets Wyrdsong apart from other fantasy open-world RPG games is that this game is set in a fictionalized version of a real-world setting and time. That setting is Portugal during the Middle Ages, though the world of the game features supernatural elements that wouldn’t have been present in our reality.

Question what is real

Wyrdsong aims to introduce an element of uncertainty to the game by introducing things like an unreliable narrator, consequences for the player’s choices, and supernatural elements. There will also be “Templar-like” conspiracies that the player must unravel. According to the developers, the game will be designed to make players question reality.

A lot of potential but little known

While Wyrdsong has some proven talent behind it and a great deal of potential in what it offers, it is unreleased, and very little is known about the details. There is also no stated release date, so it is not clear when this game will be available.
