Back in 2017, Coin Operated Games released Empyre: Lords of the Sea Gates, a neo-Victorian steampunk RPG. Far from a critical or commercial success, the game seemed to quickly fade into obscurity. However, that apparently didn't stop it from getting a sequel - Empyre: Dukes of the Far Frontier.
Launching June 3, 2022, Dukes of the Far Frontier is going to introduce steampunk cowboys into the mix, a new character creation system, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous improvements. Here's the official trailer:
And the game's description:
Rising out of the desert in Monument Valley is a city unlike any other ever made. Perched atop massive pillars too impossible to be designed by human hands but built by strange robots called Mekanikals.
It is a refuge from the disasters plaguing the rest of the country. The coasts are flooded, and the land is overrun by devilish plant-like monstrosities. Life for humankind is nearly impossible and nature has taken complete control. Only the desert remains free from threat.
Sitting on a train to this city of wonders, you have a first class ticket to the easy life. But this utopian city holds dark secrets and getting inside in one piece will not be as easy as it seems.
Once you enter, riding high on the winds of change, will the city ever be the same again? Will you drag its mysteries into the light? What will become of the city if the truth is unleashed? Your journey to the far frontier will decide the fate of the last traces of humanity; are you prepared to change the world?
