In the realm of fantasy, Poland has made a significant mark on the global stage with the phenomenal success of “The Witcher.” However, a newcomer to the industry, Mighty Koi Studio, has set its sights on proving that there’s more to Polish fantasy than just one title. Established in 2022, the studio is ready to embark on an exciting journey with two classic fantasy series – Thorgal and The Night Wanderer.
Mighty Koi Studio holds the exclusive rights to these electrifying titles, which are brimming with creative possibilities. The studio’s ambition is reflected in its plans to launch these games on major platforms such as PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. The release dates are yet to be announced, but the anticipation is already palpable among the gaming community.
The studio’s approach is ambitious, to say the least. They have announced two AA+ / AAA projects, engaging experienced experts from the world of gaming and animation. Currently, the team consists of over 100 people, but this number is expected to double by the end of the year with the inclusion of external studios. Mighty Koi aims to make a splash not just in the Polish, but also in the international gaming market, following in the footsteps of “The Witcher”.
Immerse Yourself in the Adventures of Thorgal
Thorgal is a game based on the legendary comic series by Grzegorz Rosiński and Jean Van Hamme. The game allows players to take on the role of the Viking, Thorgal Aegirsson, in an adventure game infused with RPG elements. It’s set to be a strong competitor to The Witcher 4, thanks to the use of the Unreal Engine 5 with proprietary extensions and cutting-edge technologies such as photogrammetry and AI.
The Thorgal comic series has a rich history dating back to 1977. It has been translated into 18 languages and sold over 20 million copies. The game will enable players to experience Thorgal’s adventures, pitting them against dangerous bandits, formidable monsters, and invincible gods. It’s a thrilling ride that promises to become a permanent part of the fantasy gaming canon.
Explore the Mysterious World of The Night Wanderer
The Night Wanderer is a game based on the iconic book series “Lord of the Ice Garden” by Jarosław Grzędowicz. This four-volume saga creatively blends science fiction with dark fantasy elements. It’s considered the author’s pinnacle achievement, alongside novels like “Ash and Dust” or “The Book of Autumn Demons.” The series has won many awards, such as the Zajdel, Nautilus, and Sphinx, and has permanently etched itself into the hearts of fantasy fans.
The Night Wanderer offers gripping, soulslike gameplay with elements of RPG and adventure games, based on a dynamic and innovative combat system. Players will take on the role of Vuko Drakkainen – a mercenary sent to the mysterious planet Midgaard to find a lost scientific expedition. The storyline combines science fiction with traditional fantasy, offering players a compelling protagonist, an engaging story, and a vivid, extraordinary world shaped by mysterious forces.
The production of the game is being developed in consultation with Jarosław Grzędowicz himself. Under the auspices of the publishing house Fabryka Słów, the creators are making every effort to ensure that the gameplay fully captures the spirit and atmosphere of the novels.
With such promising prospects, Mighty Koi Studio is poised to set a new benchmark in Polish fantasy gaming. Keep an eye out for more updates and get ready to embark on an unforgettable gaming journey with Thorgal and The Night Wanderer!
