Jeff Kaplan is best known as the original lead of Overwatch, but now that he's split from Blizzard, it seems he wants his new game to be a little less PvP-centric – at least for now. Kaplan's new studio, Kintsugiyama, is working on a Wild West survival game called The Legend of California, which is currently taking more cues from PvE-focused games than the brutal PvP of something like Rust.
"Someday, I would like to introduce – on servers that want it – Rust-like mechanics," Kaplan said in a recent Twitch stream, shared on Twitter by Jake Lucky. "But this building system is more built like, for those of you who have played games like Valheim and Subnautica, where the building is more focused on utility, progression, aesthetics, and customization, rather than defending your stuff. That's what our sort of ranch is set up for."
