Warren Spector, who made a name for himself worldwide with his science fiction games, is currently working on a multiplayer game. There is already some information about what to expect.
Who is Warren Spector? Warren Spector is a video game maker who has been involved as a developer and producer in several projects.
He became internationally known, especially for the shooter “System Shock” (1994) and the dystopian game series “Deus Ex,” and is even considered a kind of pioneer in the science fiction genre.
Recently, Warren Spector drew attention with a statement on the topic of NFTs when he expressed criticism.
Which game studio is behind the project? The new game from Warren Spector is being developed by OtherSide Entertainment. A game studio where he and Paul Neurath acted as co-founders.
If you are fans of Spector’s sci-fi series, you might be interested in a game from the art director behind Deus Ex:

What do we know so far about his multiplayer game? The game will be titled “ARGOS: Riders on the Storm” and will take place in a “strange yet oddly familiar world,” as revealed on the website of OtherSide Entertainment.
So far, there is only one image that is shown in connection with the game. The image file is named “Mothership Exterior.”

What can we expect in gameplay? In the game announcement, Warren Spector’s experience in the field of the “immersive simulation” genre is highlighted. Because ARGOS: Riders on the Storm will give players the opportunity to interact with a deep environment.
Both System Shock and Deus Ex fall into the realm of immersive simulation – a particular area of interest for Warren Spector.
It is further emphasized: The decisions you make in the game will have consequences, both on a small and large scale, and will also affect the gameplay experience.
The fact that the player has different ways to complete a mission may be familiar to Warren Spector fans. Because this aspect played a major role in previous games and was often praised alongside the story aspects.
But you are not alone in ARGOS: Riders on the Storm; you can play the game together with your friends.
This was a very deliberate step for Warren Spector, as he revealed in an interview with IGN:
I am an unyielding advocate for immersive simulations. I have been thinking for years: ‘What is the next step for immersive simulations?’ I believe I have figured it out […] It is time for me to try multiplayer.’

This sounds promising for fans of Warren Spector’s games who also enjoy playing multiplayer.
For example, in 2019, when the first trailer for System Shock 3 was released, Mein-MMO editor Andreas Bertits immediately asked if there would be a multiplayer mode.
In the interview with IGN, the game maker also mentioned that Dungeons and Dragons had a significant influence on his work as a game designer. He wants to give players the same feeling he had when he played D&D for the first time.
When will ARGOS: Riders on the Storm be released? So far, no release date has been announced for Warren Spector’s multiplayer. Due to the currently very limited information available on the website of OtherSide, it is likely to be a while before the game is released.
There are also no details yet about the possible platforms on which ARGOS: Riders on the Storm will be released.
Here you can find a upcoming action RPG where you can either engage in epic battles or cure the cold of your teammates.
