Wyrdsong Studio Snaps Up Starfield Lead Quest Designer for RPG

The lead quest designer for Bethesda’s last RPG Starfield is heading to Something Wicked Games. Will Shen will be working with other veterans in the gaming industry on the open-world RPG Wyrdsong.

The studio is founded by ex-Bethesda lead, Jeff Gardiner who worked on such titles as Fallout 3. The developer has been recruiting talent and Shen is the latest to join. Shen confirmed in an interview with the website gamedeveloper that he’d be joining the studio.

Wyrdsong Concept Art
Wyrdsong concept art is full of dark fantasy and the occult.

In case you missed it, Wyrdsong was first announced at Gamescom 2022. A project that has team members who have worked on such major games as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Dragon Age: InquisitionThe Outer Worlds and more. It will be set in a fictional version of Portugal during the Middle Ages. Set to be an open-world game with fully-fledged RPG mechanics including combat and questing.

Certainly Wyrd

Starfield‘s questing experience had players exploring galaxies which is no easy feat. Having the lead quest designer on board for this new studio’s first RPG will hopefully have great quests ahead in the fantasy Wyrd game. It’s been a while since there’s been an update on this mysterious title, but hopefully, this means development is steadily moving along. In a previous interview with IGN, details included the “occult” and being part “historical fantasy”.

The concepts discussed also mention mythical storytelling going into not just strange but the “wyrd” or supernatural. The world will certainly be an odd place if the concept art is anything to go by.

You can check out the reveal trailer that was released in 2022, which teases an ominous presence known as “The Eye”. It’s mysterious with a sense of impending doom, and I can’t wait to see more.

Wyrdsong currently has no release date but is being developed using Unreal Engine 5.
