Rockstar Games, the renowned creator of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, might be delving into the medieval gaming realm, as per recent reports.
The new project, tentatively named Project Ethos or Project Medieval, is creating a buzz in the gaming community. Unlike Rockstar’s usual modern and controversial game themes, this venture into medieval times, similar to Skyrim or The Witcher, is a novel move for the studio.
Speculation about Project Ethos has been circulating, initially surfacing on Reddit forums. The excitement died down as attention shifted to the long-awaited GTA VI.
However, recent discussions have reignited following Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, filing a new trademark associated with video games.
This trademark is believed to be linked to Rockstar’s potential medieval-themed project.
If named ‘Project Ethos,’ this marks a significant departure for Rockstar Games, offering possibilities for creative storytelling and innovative gameplay with sword combat.
It opens avenues to explore historical and cultural narratives in greater depth, deviating from their typical game themes.
While it’s uncertain if the setting will be fantastical like Elden Ring, Rockstar’s reputation suggests a commitment to immersive, reality-resembling universes.
