During Bethesda’s E3 2019 Showcase, a new IP was revealed, which is being developed by Tango Gameworks. GhostWire: Tokyo is an action-adventure game with some horror twists.

After so many years, Bethesda has finally revealed a new IP in the works. Although they aren’t involved much in development since Tango Gameworks is the studio at the helm, it’s a good start. We know Starfield is in the works, so that’s also pretty exciting since it’s also something new coming from Bethesda. But, with that missing in action, it’s great to see something like GhostWire: Tokyo, which looks very interesting.

The trailer that was shown doesn’t show any gameplay. Instead, it’s a cinematic trailer, showing Tokyo and a bunch of people seemingly going about their day. Suddenly, they start disappearing, which looks something like the rapture. The cause is still unknown, but that’s why it makes it that much more intriguing.

Before we touch on more details, check out the trailer below:

As mentioned below, all civilians begin to disappear. There seem to be some other beings who are still around, which we assume are responsible for what’s happening. At the very end, a character is shown, who is probably the main protagonist players will play as.

Check out some plot details as described in the official release:

“After strange disappearances hit Tokyo’s population, it’s up to you to uncover the source and purge the city of a strange, new evil. Armed with your own mysterious spectral abilities, you will face down the occult, unravel conspiracy theories and experience urban legends like never before.”

Seeing a new IP from such a big company is refreshing. Yes, the Fallout series, the Elder Scrolls, and so on are always fun to play when they release. It’s good to play new things every now and then as well.

A release date is currently unknown, but more information should be revealed sometime later this year.
