Wolcen 2

Wolcen 2 continues the dark fantasy action-RPG from Nice-based studio WOLCEN Studio, six years after a first installment with a chaotic launch. The player takes on the role of the Warlord, bastard son of the God of Shadows, pulled from exile and caught up in a prophecy that promises the world's salvation but demands a sacrifice.

The character system remains classless: it's the weapons that unlock the skills, which are then shaped by modifiers, specializations and a vast passive tree. Shadow Form serves as both panic button and offensive transformation. The endgame rests on two pillars, the Conquest and its faction clashes on dynamically assembled battlefields, and the Tower of Wonders, an ascent with targeted rewards. The game can be played solo or up to four in co-op, peer-to-peer rather than on dedicated servers, and moves from CryEngine to Unreal Engine 5. Early access is announced on PC for 2027, with full release on PC and current-generation consoles. The Steam page currently only lists English, but the studio communicates in French.
