Ludeon Studios officially announced on October 13 that they are currently developing an unannounced new title. While specific details regarding the game's genre, title, or supported platforms remain undisclosed, the studio expressed a desire to share the news despite the project still being in early stages.
The upcoming game is built using Waylith, a proprietary engine developed in-house by Ludeon Studios. Furthermore, the studio confirmed that the existing colony simulation title RimWorld will transition from Unity to the Waylith engine starting with update 1.7.
Internal testing indicates that the Waylith engine improves RimWorld's performance by 2 to 4 times compared to version 1.6. Improvements include faster startup times, quicker map generation, and significantly reduced loading times for heavily modded setups, such as a 1500-mod pack dropping from 14 minutes to 6 minutes. The developer notes that the game's visual style and core gameplay remain unchanged.
Update 1.7 is currently available via the Steam unstable beta branch, while the main branch remains on version 1.6 for now. The studio confirmed that save data is compatible between versions 1.6 and 1.7, and most existing mods will function without modifications.
