Ken Levine Details Judas’ Villainy System, Debuts New Art, Keeps Release Date Unannounced

The studio follows its largest playtest to date with a move to lo‑fi dev logs for more frequent updates.

Overview

  • Ghost Story Games says the Villainy feature is complete, letting one of the Big 3 become the antagonist based on how players engage with them.
  • The Big 3 are identified as Queen Nefertiti, Sheriff Tom Austin, and Hope Jimenez, each gaining new powers if turned against you.
  • An example clip shows Tom sabotaging Rent‑a‑Deputy bots so they attack the player when he is the spurned rival.
  • Levine cites Shadow of Mordor’s Nemesis system as an inspiration but emphasizes deeper, authored relationships with fewer, central characters.
  • No launch date is being announced; the team confirms PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S targets and showcases Drew Struzan‑inspired key art from the Mayflower‑set shooter.
