Russians is do not only make their own Gothic, but also Elex. Ambitious project with claimed budget of 100 000 000$.
They call their setting "Middlepunk", that means game will be mid or it is a middle finger for gamers.
Confirmed playing as various characters, can't create your own. Will have strategy elements like developing cities.
Game was announced years ago, but they don't have much to show yet, probably I created the thread too early.

Trailer gives me Horizon Zero Dawn vibes, but less saturated. But I guess that blandness is a Russian trademark after all. Art is fine, music is 08/15 orchestral garbage. BIG MEH.

I think Elex is a fair comparison. This looks very much like Eurojank.
Worse than Elex is that it looks like many assets were flipped. The animations are also terrible and wooden.
The writing is really on the nose. The voice actors are a mixed bag, the woman at the start sounds fine, but the male voice at the end has this typical "macho" over-acting that English language voice acting in Russia and surrounding countries too often seems to go for.
