Ex-ZA/UM studio Summer Eternal reveals Red Rooster

Summer Eternal, a studio formed by former ZA/UM staff, announced Red Rooster, in which players take the role of arson investigator Redrick Roost working with an opiate-dependent mathematician on a string of fires tied to his brother, the city's fire chief. The studio describes it as a physics-driven RPG built in Unreal Engine, set in the tri-partie city of Arta-Tantor, and says it is nearing the end of pre-production with an internal playable tech demo. The game was announced through a 500-page physical book, the Summer Eternal Anthology, priced at €69 for the Standard edition and €99 for the Deluxe Firestarter bundle, with buyers eligible for membership in a non-profit that owns five percent of the studio.
