If there was one game that was announced that we wanted to know more about at Sony’s E3 conference, it was The Order: 1886. Ready At Dawn has been very secretive about the title being developed for the PS4, only requested that the game does not be labeled as Steampunk but rather “Neo-Victorian” suggesting an alternate timeline parallel to our own.
New story information has been released today via GameInformer that outlined this parallel world as well as adding a twist of Horror elements to the mix. The Order: 1886 will put players into the boots of one of the Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur’s legendary 5th century order, who are in a war against the “half-breeds,” creatures created out of human evolution that threaten the world’s pure population. Thanks to the Industrial Revolution, the Order is now equipped to take on the half-breeds and end the war once and for all. “The game itself is a mix of all these moments that basically take you on a ride of adventure, suspense and horror,” The Order: 1886 Creative Director Ru Weerasuriya said in a video interview with GameInformer.
The Order: 1886 will be a third person shooter and is the first original IP from the developers, Ready At Dawn. It is an PS4 exclusive but has yet to confirm a release date.
