Rain Games, much like Image & Form, has opted to try something a little different in the way it produces games, aiming for a shared universe concept much like we see in the film industry. It all started with Teslagrad and recently got another entry with World to the West. Now, Rain Games has announced a third game, which will be set in yet another new place.

Mesmer will be a new take on strategy games, focusing on a character who leads one of different five factions in the capital city of Pardam. The goal will be to accrue as many resources and supporters as possible while still keeping activities a secret from the Crown. It sounds like yet another fascinating departure, and while release details aren’t forthcoming, know that it’ll launch on the Switch.
