Philosophy and Duality
Last month we unveiled our debut title Empyreal, an action RPG that takes place in a far-flung corner of the galaxy. Today, studio co-founder & creative director Joseph Rogers is offering a glimpse at Empyreal's setting, characters, and quest-lines, plus revealing some of the unexpected inspirations behind Empyreal.
Here's an excerpt:
"...you are confronted with a looming and inscrutable monolith. Why is it here? Who built it? What is it for? And what power does it contain? Naturally, we won’t be answering those questions for you here and now – these discoveries (and more) are for you to make when you play for yourself. However, what we would like to share are some of the esoteric references that influenced some of the themes in the story, and the relevance they hold even to the modern world."
Find out what's in store by reading his Empyreal blog over at Xbox Wire.
We'll be showcasing much more about Empyreal in the new year, so be sure to Follow and Wishlist this page for updates and to be notified of upcoming demos.
