During today’s Xbox Partner Preview, Lost Lake Games—a new studio led by industry veteran James Phinney (StarCraft, Guild Wars)—revealed its debut title, Vaunted. This sci-fi tactical RPG takes players to the lawless fringes of a fallen galactic empire, where treasure hunters scavenge for ancient imperial relics.
The game distinguishes itself by blending turn-based strategy with third-person shooter mechanics. In a departure from genre norms, Vaunted ditches traditional initiative orders, allowing players to choose their own turn sequence while alternating with enemy actions. Players will manage a trio of "scrappy frenemies"—Dyse, Gendril, and Kyvaath—navigating a world of giant robots and monstrous aliens through a story told by three unreliable narrators.
What We Know So Far
TBA confirmed that the game is being built for PC (Microsoft Windows), with improved visuals, new mechanics, and environments designed around the storybook theme.
We wanted to create a world that feels like stepping into a storybook — full of wonder, surprises, and discovery around every corner.
