Wolcen Studio has announced Wolcen 2, a sequel to its 2020 action RPG that initially seemed abandoned after the studio ended development on the original and shut down its online servers in 2024. The French developer is building the new title for PC and consoles, with a Steam Early Access launch targeted for 2027. The game is currently in its early development phase.
The announcement signals the studio's commitment to reviving the franchise despite the previous title's troubled lifecycle. While details remain limited at this stage, the multi-platform approach and planned early access window suggest an iterative development strategy.
- Wolcen Studio is resurrecting the franchise after closing the first game's online infrastructure, indicating a fresh start rather than abandonment.
- Steam Early Access is scheduled for 2027, giving the studio several years to develop before public testing begins.
- The sequel will release across PC and consoles, expanding beyond the original's scope.
