One of my major complaints with Unknightly, Portal Studios’ largely thrilling shot at Thief in VR, is the lack of variety in environments. Fortunately, the developer is addressing that with the launch of its next level.
The next chapter of the stealth game, which is currently in Early Access, is set outside of the castle keep seen in the game’s first few levels. Here you venture into a village in search of a boat to stow away on. The trailer below makes it look like a frightfully tense affair.
Overall it’s great to see Portal Studios continuing to update Unknightly with brand new content. We think the game’s genuinely exciting, even if there are a few rough edges that need to be straightened out. Hopefully the next major update might bring about some fixes to AI etc too.
As for a release date, Portal Studios isn’t saying just yet, but it does promise it’ll be soon.
Unknightly isn’t the only Thief wannabe in the house anymore, though. Yesterday we reported on the reveal of Rogan, a visually striking new stealth game that could give Portal Studios a run for its money.
