Mighty Koi has taken on two well-known brands – Thorgal and Night Wanderer. According to the studio's plan, the second of the games will feature intense battles.
In an interview, Marcin Grzegurski, one of the main representatives of Mighty Koi, confirmed that The Night Wanderer, like Thorgal, will receive a budget of 15-20 million dollars. The developers are going to use this amount to make the game and spend on marketing – although the funding could be increased if a suitable publisher or other partners are found.
« Night Wanderer is a fusion of RPG and soulslike genres, featuring unique solutions and innovative approaches to the mechanics that players know and love. The game uses level design familiar from Metroidvania games and a combat system native to Soulsborne [Dark Souls and Bloodborne – ed.], which emphasizes dynamic, yet tactical gameplay. At the same time, an important aspect of the entire experience will be a clearly drawn, fascinating storyline. It uses a quest structure that is familiar to fans of classic RPGs.”
“During the journey, the player will be accompanied by Sifral, a biological artificial intelligence connected to the protagonist’s nervous system, the task which is to support him in a dangerous mission and significantly increase his strength, reflexes and endurance. Sifral's presence will help the player in the fight against the unknown, but overusing his abilities can have its consequences… We estimate the game at 20-30 hours.”
