Warren Spector has been talking about his studio’s next game,Argos: Riders On The Storm. In the broadest possible terms, at least. In a briefinterview with IGN, Spector says that Argos is multiplayer and “the next step in immersive sims.”
“I’m a relentless advocate for immersive sims,” Spector tells IGN. “I’ve been thinking for years now: ‘What is the next step in immersive sims?’ I think I’ve figured that out.” Multiplayer is apparently the answer. “It’s about time I tried multiplayer,” Spector says.

Otherwise, Spector only talks about D&D as an influence, his desire that players be able to tell their own stories through the game, as well as some bold claims about their ambition. “I am a firm believer that every game has to have one thing that no one’s ever seen or done in a game before. I promise you that the game we’re working on now will do that,” Spector says.
“If people want ‘unique and innovative', even I look at what we’re doing and think we’re crazy,” he adds. “The team is accomplishing more than I asked.”
The Otherside Entertainment website issimilarly vague about the project, adding only that it’s set in an “alien yet strangely familiar world.”
Hopefully things work out better this time. We lastspoke to Spector back in 2020 for Deus Ex’s 20th anniversary.
