All Articles: The Order: 1886

One of the surprises from Sony’s E3 event was Ready At Dawn’s The Order: 1886. Coming across as a fusion of London-based period detective drama Whitechapel and Dishonored, it seems to take most of its inspiration from the latter, with the trailer showcasing technological weapons in the Victorian era. With one of the characters referred to as “Galahad,” it looks like Ready At Dawn (and their development partner, Sony Santa Monica) has decided to update the old Arthurian legend and cast the Knights of the Round Table as steampunk warriors battling hordes of demons. A quote from Mallory’s Le Morte D’Arthur even opens the trailer.

While no release date has been announced, we will be keeping a close eye on this one.

Sony Santa Moncia Studios and Ready At Dawn unveiled their new PS4 title, The Order 1886, during Sony’s E3 Press Conference today. The footage shown, shot entirely in-game, looks to be a steampunk Castlevania: Lords of Shadows mixed Left 4 Dead. I’m impressed.

Can’t wait to hear more.
