Warren Spector, who made a name for himself as a creator worldwide with his science fiction games, is currently working on a multiplayer game. There is already initial information about what to expect in it.
Who is Warren Spector? Warren Spector is a video game maker who has been involved in several projects as a developer and producer.
The maker became internationally known for the shooter “System Shock” (1994) and the dystopian game series “Deus Ex” and is even considered a kind of pioneer in the field of science fiction.
Most recently, Warren Spector drew attention to himself with a statement on the subject of NFTs when he expressed criticism.
Which game studio is behind the project? OtherSide Entertainment is working on Warren Spector’s new game. A game studio in which he and Paul Neurath acted as co-founders.
If you’re fans of Spector’s sci-fi series, you might be interested in a game from the art director behind Deus Ex:

So what do we know about his multiplayer game so far? The game will be titled “ARGOS: Riders on the Storm” and will be set in a “strange yet oddly familiar world,” according to OtherSide Entertainment’s website.
So far there is only one picture that is shown in connection with the game. The image file bears the name “Mothership Exterior”.

What awaits us in the gameplay? The game announcement details Warren Spector’s experience in the immersive simulation genre. Because ARGOS: Riders on the Storm should give the player the opportunity to interact with a deep environment.
System Shock and Deus Ex also fall into the realm of immersive simulation – a particular area of interest for Warren Spector.
It is further emphasized that the decisions you make in the game will have consequences, both small and large, and will also affect the gaming experience.
The fact that the player has different options for completing a mission may sound familiar to fans of Warren Spector. Because it already played a major role in previous games and, in addition to the story aspects, was often praised.
But you are not alone in ARGOS: Riders on the Storm, you can play the game together with your friends.
This was a very conscious move for Warren Spector, as he revealed in an interview with IGN:
I’m a relentless advocate of immersive simulations. I’ve been thinking for years now, ‘What’s the next step in immersive simulation?’ I think I figured that out […] It’s about time I tried multiplayer.”

That sounds promising for fans of Warren Spector’s games who like to play multiplayer at the same time.
For example, in 2019, when the first trailer for System Shock 3 was released, Mein MMO editor Andreas Bertits immediately asked if there was a multiplayer mode.
In an interview with IGN, the gamemaker also revealed that Dungeons and Dragons has had a huge impact on his work as a game designer. He wants to give players the same feeling he had when he first played D&D.
When will ARGOS: Riders on the Storm be released? No release date has yet been announced for Warren Spector’s multiplayer. Due to the very little information that can currently be found on the Otherside website, it will probably take some time before the game is published.
There are also no details yet on the possible platforms on which ARGOS: Riders in the Storm will appear.
Here you will find another upcoming action RPG, in which you can either fight epic battles or cure your fellow players’ colds.
