Key information
Hytacka, a former FromSoftware employee and developer of the action RPG Rise of Rebellion, has unveiled a trailer for a new project titled OVERSEEKER. This announcement follows the commercial performance of Rise of Rebellion, which was released by Kodansha in April 2025 and saw first-week sales fall significantly below the developer's targets.
The project is described as a story-driven title centered on professional assassins. The nine-minute and twenty-second trailer depicts a confrontation between a character named Heat and his sister Ivy, a female assassin who killed her husband, Keegan. The narrative appears to involve themes of memory loss, mysterious structures, and religious figures, with keywords such as tower and a search for the sister appearing in the footage.
Hytacka is serving as the director, game designer, and co-writer for the project. The development team also includes Yuka Nishibe, who is credited as the story creator, cinematic advisor, and co-writer. This new endeavor follows Hytacka's previous commitment to prioritize high quality in future work after concluding support for Rise of Rebellion with minor adjustments.
While the trailer provides insight into the narrative direction, specific details regarding the game's genre, release window, and target platforms remain unannounced. The developer previously noted that support for his prior title would be limited to final bug fixes and an easy mode implementation.
