Former Battlefield and Payday 2 developers have announced a new game called Project Wight.

According to Kotaku, Project Wight will let players take a control of an intelligent monster whose kind has been nearly wiped out by humanity. From what’s shown in the first trailer, the game is played from a first-person perspective, and will have players swiftly traverse environments and attack different types of soldiers.

Project Wight is being developed by a newly-formed studio called The Outsiders using the Unity engine. The studio is founded by David Goldfarb and Ben Cousins, who have both previously worked on various Battlefield titles, including Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

The Outsiders’ main goal with Project Wight is to take a look at games from a different perspective.

“I always side with the monster and the underdog,” Goldfarb told Kotaku. “This is a way to invert the traditional idea of being a hero.”

The playable monster will evolve and shift in power throughout its different phases of life, providing gameplay variety in the process.

Project Wight doesn’t have a release date yet, and no platforms have been revealed.
