Gato Studio's upcoming The Waylanders debuted a new trailer during IGN Live at Gamescom 2019 and now you can get a close look at it yourself.

The Waylanders is a time-traveling RPG that features the work of Chris Avellone as well as Emmy Award-winning musician Inon Zur (Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins) as well to provide music. You may recognize Avellone from his work on games like Fallout: New Vegas, Divinity: Original Sin 2, and plenty of other titles.

The fantasy RPG itself was inspired by games like Dragon Age: Origins and Baldur's Gate and will feature a party-based narrative that will split time between two different eras, including both Celtic and Medieval times. There will be several options for tactical combat as well as a wide range of options for players to craft their own characters out of 6 basic and 30 advanced classes in addition to 5 playable races.You'll have plenty of companions to keep a watchful eye on as well.

"The first meeting between the Celts and their gods, the Tuatha de Danaan should have been a time of celebration and enlightenment. But, when the negotiations go catastrophically wrong, you find yourself near death- and untethered from time! The land has been overtaken by magickal corruptions, and the kingdom, once peaceful, has splintered into multiple factions warring for the throne. The Celtic culture- a complex tapestry of different religions, cultures, mortal and immortal human races, werewolves, druids, goblins, and monsters threatens to tear at every seam. Will you support the immature yet rightful heir, or the pragmatic general? What alliances will you forge, what friendships will you foster, what romances will you pursue, and... what will you do when you are suddenly thrust into Medieval Spain?" Reads the official Steam description.

You can expect The Waylanders to debut on PC in 2020.
