Wyrdsong.

Wyrdsong, originally planned as an open-world RPG from former Bethesda developers who'd worked on Skyrim, Fallout, and The Outer Worlds, has had to scrap a lot of its original plans and drop down to a "skeleton crew" so the remaining devs can keep working while they try to secure funding.

In an interview with our friends at PC Gamer, Wyrdsong developer Something Wicked Games co-founder Jeff Gardiner explains what's happened to the game since its announcement at Gamescom Opening Night Live in 2022.
