[Fantastapotamus]

Man, Klei just can't stick to a genre. Insane developer.
100% in for this, so far all their games have been great

But seriously, how many people work at Klei?

Steam Page is up too

 

[jond76]

Looks really cool. Hope to hear more details this week.

 

[Lady Siara]

Looks fantastic, loving the art. Reminds me of Banner Saga which was a visual feast.

 

[Some Nobody]

If the in-game bits look like the trailer that game looks great.

 

[bender]

Stunning

Man, Klei just can't stick to a genre. Insane developer.

While I'd do unmentionable things for a Mark of the Ninja sequel, it's got to be a great place to work out where you aren't beholden to doing sequel after sequel.

 

[psyfi]

Looks potentially cool! Also Klei should be in the thread title, their name is big enough to garner interest in and of itself.

 

[dreamfall]

Whoa this looks amazing! I hope there's a large map to explore as you quest!

 

[jj984jj]

Klei is making so many awesome games at once now.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Beautiful trailer!

 

[traveler]

Klei is one of the best developers out there right now. Will definitely give this a shot.

 

[Vandiger]

Wow, should be hyped on stage.

 

[Mashing]

I must be living in a cave, I've never heard of Klei.

Mark of the Ninja
Don't Starve (and Don't Starve Together)
Invisible, Inc.
Oxygen Not Included

All in a ~six-year window.

They really are superb.

Edit: Ninja'd, and you weren't even responding to the same post :/

 

[ActWan]

Looks great.

 

[PSqueak]

Looks like Borderlands without the stupid meme humor and more emphasis on RPG elements.

I like what im seeing.

 

[benicillin]

How do they continue to make hit after hit after hit. At this point Klei is just an instant-buy from me.

 

[jon bones]

wherever you go klei

i'll be there

Ahh, yeah I've heard of those game just never played or purchased any of them. This one looks awesome.

 

[azyless]

Klein seems busy these days, they have one game in EA, one in development, and now this. I love their games so I'll probably be in.

 

[Shake Appeal]

I also love that you can tell a Klei game just by looking at the art, even as they hop across genres.

I think Hot Lava is a relatively small-scale passion project thing. And they generally seem to have two teams rolling. Don't Starve Together was being tested at the same time as Invisible, Inc. Early Access.

 

[TissueBox]

If it's Klei I'm in..

 

[Not]

Whooooaaaaa how did they make this

EDIT: Ohhhh are the cutscenes not ingame? Looks like a show. Looks really cool.

 

[Nif]

Looks awesome

I'd like to know that as well. It's really impressive how they consistently try new genres and never disappoint. And it's not like their games are rehashed from existing successful titles by other studios either.

 

[CHC]

Klei is amazing, and this looks like it hits on a style that I feel is underrepresented - B-sci-fi, gonzo aliens and planets, almost like a Rick and Morty style where anything goes. I can't really tell what the game will be, but given the track record of the developer's I've got some interest already.

 

[SystemBug]

don't know why but I'm getting some Saga vibes off this

 

[Puck Beaverton]

obviously getting this

 

[Tucah]

don't know why but I'm getting some Saga vibes off this

Saga was the first thing I thought of.

 

[see5harp]

Klei has to be one of the best developers in the game. When you look at the genre swaps, the ability to consistently put out quality games across different platforms. They deserve a lot more praise then they currently get.

 

[poppedcollar69]

Game looks awesome of course, but I hope they break the streak of overwrought melodramatic plot twists

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Day 1, man. Day 1.

 

[kAmui-]

Combat reminds me of Darkest Dungeon. Darkest Dungeon with more exploration and adventure elements would be pretty awesome.

And as many have stated, Klei is real awesome.

 

[B00TE]

Looks amazing, love most of Klei's games.

 

[Stevey]

looks sweet

 

[Ghost Lynx]

Looks very good. I'm excited to see more!

 

[StereoVsn]

Well now, this looks pretty great. I liked all their previous games so I am in when this gets released.

 

[Teeth]

I do like me some garbled nonsense language. Don't see much of that anymore.

 

[FrontalMonk]

Looks like Klei has another stunner on their hands. I'm in.

 

[yananana]

Always down for some new Klei.

 

[Ricker]

I have seen that artstyle before,cant remember which game though...Penny Arcade or Banner Saga...? anyway looks cool,always in for turned base.

 

[Stoze]

Heck yes, a Klei RPG. I wonder if that release date is for early access since it's not too far off.

Probably. It's worked really well for them so far.

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

Always keen on whatever they're up to at Klei, one of the great development houses of the 2010s. Looks like a party-based RPG from the teaser. I'm not as crazy about the art here as in their earlier titles (there's a certain flatness to the way foreground meets background that was never an issue in their stylish 2D illustration before) but it could always grow on me, and this is one of the best studios around when it comes to really polishing something up for launch. I do wonder if it will have the meta/management/customization layer that makes all of their games so replayable, or if it's aimed at being a more linear experience.

 

[Stoze]

Probably. It's worked really well for them so far.

Yeah, it's been years since they haven't had an early access game. It would be kind of weird to see it for a presumably single player RPG though.
