In a surprising turn of events, Bohemia Interactive is making waves at this year’s Gamescom with the announcement of two distinct titles, even as fans eagerly await the arrival of Arma 4, which remains in its developmental phase. The first of these new offerings is Skyverse, a sandbox RPG that poses an intriguing question: what if the terrain generation algorithm of Minecraft experienced a whimsical glitch, resulting in a world comprised of floating islands? Developed by Enjoy Studio, Skyverse presents a blocky aesthetic reminiscent of Minecraft but embraces a more pronounced fantasy theme, inviting players to navigate the skies aboard their own airships. Adventurers can explore these airborne realms, gather resources, and brave dungeons teeming with skeletons.
Brute Horse: A Unique Co-op Experience
The second title, Brute Horse, offers a narrative-driven action platformer that promises a quirky twist on cooperative gameplay. Players can join forces as Brute and Michelle in a couch co-op setting, although the concept of teaming up as a rider and horse could have added an extra layer of fun. Set to launch in 2025, Brute Horse is generating curiosity among gamers, while Skyverse is labeled as “Coming soon” on its Steam page.
Both games emphasize multiplayer experiences, with Skyverse allowing friends to traverse its voxel-based worlds together, while Brute Horse focuses on cooperative play. The anticipation surrounding these titles is palpable, yet the overarching question remains: when will Bohemia Interactive unveil Arma 4? Since the last update in 2022, which was tied to Arma Reforger, details about the sequel to the acclaimed Arma 3 have been sparse. Reforger, which exited early access last year to a mixed reception, continues to receive support, including a significant update in June that introduced AI vehicle control and squad command features.
As the gaming community speculates about the future of Arma 4, it appears that the journey from Reforger to the highly anticipated sequel is still shrouded in mystery, leaving fans to ponder the timeline of Bohemia Interactive’s next major release.
