Wombo Games Unveils “Raiders of Blackveil,” a New Roguelite Title
Wombo Games, a fresh studio spearheaded by IO Interactive’s co-founder, Janos Flösser, has announced Raiders of Blackveil, a new strategic action roguelite title slated to enter Early Access this summer. This game blends elements of MOBAs, RPGs, and PvE extraction games, offering a strategic and engaging experience playable solo or cooperatively with up to two friends.
Fight for Freedom in a Dystopian World
Raiders of Blackveil plunges players into a dystopian future where a powerful mega-corporation, Blackveil, oppresses the animal inhabitants of an industrial-fantasy realm. Players will join the animal resistance, battling to dismantle the corporation and secure a future free from enslavement and rampant consumerism.
Development Team Boasts Triple-A Experience
The Copenhagen-based studio has been secretly crafting Raiders of Blackveil for the past two years. The development team includes veterans who have contributed to renowned series such as:
- Hitman
- Tomb Raider
- Deus Ex
- Just Cause
- Kane & Lynch
Leadership with a Proven Track Record
Flösser, currently the CEO of Wombo Games, previously held the position of chief creative officer at Square Enix. During his tenure, he oversaw the development of titles such as the first season of Hitman, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, Deux Ex: Human Revolution, and Thief. His prior experience also encompasses managerial roles on Hitman: Absolution, Hitman: Blood Money, and Freedom Fighters.
Studio’s First Title Emphasizes Collaboration
“After nearly two years of development, Wombo Games is excited to finally announce Raiders of Blackveil,” said Flösser in a press statement. “This game is our first title and represents a collaborative effort from every member of the studio. We prioritize consensus-based decision-making and look forward to incorporating player feedback when we launch in Early Access later this year.”
