#TIDES OF NUMENERA BETA UPDATE#

We’ve got a very cool story coming along as well. The latest post-funding update for Torment: Tides of Numenera is notable for giving us a beginning of 2016 release window for the titles Beta Test, which will be over 10 hours long and attempt to provide a true hands-on experience after the piecemeal Alpha Systems Tests. “We’re genuinely excited about Numenera anyway – it’s a setting as different as Planescape was, one that breaks the mould of computer role-playing settings, and it’s got mechanics that are intuitive, easy, and deep. “Since we were already looking at Numenera as a potential setting, this made our decision easy,” McComb said of the apparent rejection from Wizards of the Coast.

InXile doesn’t seem too worried about it both McComb and original designer Chris Avellone had said in the past that they wanted to bring forth the spirirt of Planescape: Torment, but not necessarily make a direct sequel or even keep the same mechanics. Sticking with the Torment part of the title, InXile settled on a new role-playing setting, Numenera, which was designed by one of the Planescape setting’s core designers, who will be working with InXile on the new game. Many of its developers are now at InXile, and according to comments made both before and at the reveal of Torment: Tides of Numenera, the developer had attempted to secure the Planescape license and been turned away. Torment: Tides of Numenera is a spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment, which was put together by Black Isle Studios. “I’m certain that there was discussion on the subject directly but it sounds like there is some internal miscommunication there,” he said. Torment: Tides of Numenera is a game set in the world of Monte Cooks new tabletop RPG setting: Numenera. For this part only, I’d give at least 8/10.

The first one third of the game (part which you could see and explore in the beta) is great, full of life, interesting quests etc. InXile’s Colin McComb, one of the lead designers of Planescape: Torment and an important part of the Torment: Tides of Numenera team, seemed a bit surprised by this version of the story. Torment: Tides of Numenera is a role-playing game like very few others.

“Brian suggested Baldur’s Gate 3 had proven difficult in the past before we regained our digital rights, so, that probably didn’t help the situation,” the unnamed representative added, somewhat mysteriously. We often get proposals and are actively pursuing opportunities to make great digital D&D experiences,” Wizards of the Coast told Eurogamer. Discover the Ninth World built on the bones of extinct, hyper-advanced civilizations and leave your own mark on it. Explore Earth one billion years in the future in the science-fantasy setting of Numenera. “We would absolutely consider licensing out Planescape, or any of our other great D&D IPs, if we were approached with a proposal.
