Romero Games' shooter uses Unreal Engine 5.8

John Romero says the new shooter from Romero Games uses Unreal Engine 5.8. The project was previously canceled after an unnamed publisher pulled out of a deal, but the studio has since rescued the project. Romero says the game has been basically completely redesigned, though it will still include many elements from the canceled version.

Romero says exploration and player freedom are central to the gameplay. He compared the intended experience to Breath of the Wild, noting that players might get distracted by things they find while traveling toward a goal. Romero says he cannot confirm the publisher, release date, or specific title for the game.
