UK publisher Excalibur recently picked up Star Wolves from Russian developer Xbow. Star Wolves is a space-based RPG with strong strategy elements, that places the player in control of a small squad of bounty hunters. The game revolves around a small mothership that can house up to six small fighters, along with their pilots. Trailers reveal gameplay that looks inspired by Homeworld with a smaller focus, along with a surprisingly complex character skill system, ship upgrades and character interaction. Space-faring RPGs are a rarity and hopefully Xbow can combine an interesting RPG with compelling combat.​
