The upcoming RPG mashes styles together
Zen Studios is perhaps best known for their exceptional history of pinball video games, but with the help of publisher Saber Interactive they’re aiming for something a little different with their upcoming title Circus Electrique. Victorian Steampunk isn’t a new genre, but Circus gives it a carnival-like setting where the possibilities can definitely be stretched. There are always mysteries at the Three-Ring shows that we viewers hear whispers of, but now this project looks to dive headfirst into.
It certainly appears to carry the dark undertones of the setting, too, as players become involved in all aspects of the experience. Functioning as an RPG, the game will mix in circus-building elements with tactical play as well, as players will recruit and send out teams of lion-tamers, strongmen, clowns, and more in hopes of building up the once-glorious circus while the darkness grows around them.
Circus Electrique lands on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation platforms, Xbox platforms, and Nintendo Switch in 2022.
