Let the speculation begin!

Our first (and currently only) piece of content about Troika's next project has just been put up. Entitled <a href="http://www.terra-arcanum.com/index.php?section=speculation">Rumours, Speculation and Wild Guesses</a>, the article gives you the limited information we know so far about <a href="http://www.troikagames.com">Troika's</a> next, as yet unannounced title. Will it use the Half-Life 2 engine as evidenced by what is some speculated concept work for the game? Will it have a post-apocalyptic theme? Who knows. But that's not going to stop us from making wild accusations, waving our finger madly about in the air and proclaiming "the butler did it in the hallway with the candlestick!". To whet your appetite, here's some concept art rumoured to have been made for project Mystary!

<br>The article is just our slow plodding continuation of adding in content for all of Troika's games, along with getting the old Arcanum content back online and working properly again. Apologies to those who are inconvenienced in the meantime.

WOOOOOHOOO!

Going by the pictures, it's definately not impossible that this could be Arcanum 2! I mean, it shows two guys wearing what looks like leather armor, and one of them is brandishing what could be a cross between a spear and a, uh, rifle (yeah, I guess it could be an odd-looking branch, but hey, I'm blinded with anticipation)

If that's the case, I won't promise to record myself doing the Yatta dance and make the film available at HoL!

 

We've only got rumours that it could be a post-apocalyptic sci-fi game, not an actual confirmation that it is. Those post-apocalyptic scenes could as well be from Vendigroth.

Well, I admit that might not be so bloody likely, but until we've got something that actually confirms what it is, I'll keep on dreaming.

 

Possibly, or some kind of glaive. Doesn't really matter what it is, let's just agree on that it's some kind of polearm.

Of course, this relates to Arcanum as well. Few things have such a potential for driving me mad as quality artwork being utterly destroyed by some half-assed sequel. It should be all or nothing.
