While it's technically described as an action/adventure title at this point (and therefore won't be in our database just yet), it's certainly worth mentioning that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt senior 3D animator Jakub Kisiel is hard at work (through his studio Kubold) on a new episodic title called Aliens, Trolls & Dragons that is already far enough along to generate an announcement trailer and a nearly 13-minute gameplay video. It's evident that there is a lot of talent going into this one, and it certainly looks like a prime candidate for at least light RPG elements:
And a summarization from the official website:
Aliens, Trolls and Dragons is a Third Person Perspective, Action/Adventure game with native Oculus Rift support (and also on standard monitors). It will be released as a single player experience on PC and Mac in a form of episodes. The first one is expected to ship this Fall. Aliens, Trolls and Dragons will be heavily story driven. It's essentially a clash between science fiction and fantasy. You will have a chance to test advanced technology and weapons against warriors and monsters living on a planet, that strikingly resembles what we know from fantasy stories. Story: It is the near future. Thanks to rapid progress in the field of spacecraft propulsion, we were able to reach distant planets and discover intelligent life. The aliens very much resemble us, their civilization is comparable to our medieval times. A manned mission is sent to the planet, but the lander crashes because of unknown reasons. The wreck is looted and the crew is captured and taken by the locals. You are the chief security officer of the landing party and your job is to fix all this mess.
