Much-loved RPG will get a successor
Fans of the beloved classic PC RPGPlanescape: Tormenthave longed for a sequel for years but now we may all get our wish. Speaking toRock Paper Shotgun, former Interplay head Brian Fargo revealed plans for a newTormentgame have been in the works for a few years and that the game already has a setting.
This new title will not be set in thePlanescapeworld, instead it will be located in a newly created RPG universe called Numenera created by designer Monte Cook who worked on the originalPlanescape. Despite the new setting, Fargo promises the same thematic ties asPlanescape, with “memorable companions … heavy reactivity (and) an intense, personal story.”
It’ll be interesting to see how this new Torment title turns out. Brian Fargo is currently at inXile helming theirKickstartedWasteland 2RPG but work has already begun onNumenera. I’m excited to see a sequel toPlanescape: Tormentactually happen after all these year and I’m not bothered at all by the new setting. If another Torment RPG turned up with the same quality of characters, writing and setting as the original, then I am all for it.
