Considering the trouble Bloodlines 2 has run into, I'd be well up for a vampire immersive sim with Arkane's meticulous design sensibilities. Given how Arkane's most recent games were spiritual successors to classic PC titles (Dishonored being a spiritual successor to Thief, and Prey an homage to System Shock), there's a chance Omen will be a tribute to Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines. It could simply be "Dishonored with vampires," but "simple" tends not to appear in the studio's vocabulary. Omen will almost certainly be an immersive sim, because that's what Arkane makes, but there are a couple of ways Arkane could approach it. This speculative new game is known simply as "Omen" and will apparently have something to do with vampires. Four years on, the time is right for a new game announcement, and according to rumours (opens in new tab) Arkane Austin's latest is an entirely new project. While Arkane Lyon has been busy working away on Deathloop (due to release in September) the Austin branch of the studio has been relatively quiet since the launch of Prey in 2017.
