- Activision is developing a new GTA/Cyberpunk competitor.
- This new title will be a third-person open-world RPG that includes fantastical elements.
- It’s highly possible that Sledgehammer is involved in the development, although Elsewhere Studio is taking charge of the project.
It seems that Activision is really capitalizing on the lack of GTA-like games and the big release window left by Rockstar between games, as per a new report revealing the publisher’s plans for a new open-world RPG.
Under development at Elsewhere Studio, this title is aimed to rival GTA and Cyberpunk 2077 and will be a third-person RPG involving fantastical elements.
Why it matters: It’ll be a nice pace for Activision to pursue other titles rather than games like Call of Duty.
This news comes from leaker extas1s, who published a new YouTube video with information on Activision’s upcoming secret project. The open-world RPG will involve fantastical elements.
Players will be able to fight creatures with magic spells, weapons, and melee enemies, and parkour is also a major mechanic in the game. The fluid movement in the game is really something fans have demanded from GTA since the beginning, so it’s nice to see Activision filling in that gap.
Other than that, the game will feature realistic destruction and vehicles, along with a stats-driven system. Lastly, the title would also incorporate multiplayer elements, perhaps something like GTA Online.
Initially, this title was discovered via a job listing at Elsewhere Studio, a new branch under Activision formed in 2024. The studio has employed developers from The Division, Cyberpunk 2077, and Uncharted games, and with their expertise, this new IP could certainly thrive.
We also recently came across another job posting from Sledgehammer Games, the studio behind the Modern Warfare games, hiring for a new action RPG. It is quite possible that Sledgehammer Games could be supporting Elsewhere Studios on this new title, but at the same time, it could be a different game altogether.
In any case, this upcoming RPG seems pretty exciting, and it would be exciting to see Activision pursue a new beat rather than explore their same old titles.
