Imagine you are being interrogated by a ruthless syndicate after a galactic treasure hunting expedition ended in a total, humiliating failure. That is the captivating premise of Vaunted, a tactical sci-fi role-playing game project crafted by studio Lost Lake Games. Alongside publisher Hooded Horse, this game is ready to immerse you in a dark future thousands of years after the collapse of a galactic empire. This ambitious work is developed by a lineup of industry veterans who previously successfully worked on legendary masterpieces such as StarCraft and Guild Wars. The title is planned to launch through the Early Access program on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, the Microsoft Store, and the Game Pass service in 2026.

The core of the story centers on three main rogue characters who happened to survive the disastrous mission. They are Dyse, the agile master deceiver; Gendril, the heavy-weaponry mercenary; and Kyvaath, the last cyber-mage driven purely by ambition and revenge. As the syndicate boss demands a definitive explanation, you will listen to the story directly from these three completely unreliable narrators. Every cunning lie they spin will open a new story branch, allowing you to constantly switch perspectives to create vastly different outcomes in each gameplay simulation session.

In terms of combat mechanics, Vaunted blends careful turn-based planning with highly dynamic real-time execution. You can immediately take cover from a barrage of counterattacks, set up lethal overwatch angles to intercept enemies, or toss a grenade to launch foes into the air and blast them mercilessly before they even hit the ground. This combat action innovation is exactly what left Hooded Horse CEO, Tim Bender, thoroughly impressed since he first played it a year ago.

To survive your employer's wrath, you certainly won't be fighting alone in this universe. You are required to cleverly assemble a team from a collection of criminals, bounty hunters, and tough mercenaries aboard your ship. You are free to equip them with various specialized combat gear such as jetpacks, sniper rifles, or sentry turrets. The tactical decisions you make on the battlefield will significantly influence the level progression and unique abilities of each character.
