Verily, Wyrdsong hath been heralded three years hence on Gamescom Opening Night, yet the RPG conceived by seasoned Bethesda and Obsidian veterans hath faced many a challenge since its proclamation. Crafted by Something Wicked Games, Wyrdsong did vow to meld talents that did stir the hearts of Elder Scrolls devotees, though its release mayhap precede The Elder Scrolls 6, the studio did declare last year that a portion of its staff hath been released. Now, tidings reveal the project hath not perished, yet its vision seems altered.
Initial sustenance for the game’s creation was bestowed by NetEase with an investment exceeding 13 million dollars, a meager sum in this modern era of gaming. Attempts to garner more investors did falter, leading to reductions to stretch the project’s lifespan and bring it to completion.

Jeff Gardiner, a co-founder of the studio, did speak to PCGamer, saying, “We’re down to a skeleton crew, and I am continuing to toil to secure further investment or publication offers for the game. I do aspire to accomplish this within the year, yet we are but striving to endure the tempest, which many did deem would dissipate by 2025, a reality I do not presently perceive. Verily, it be a trying time.”
Gardiner doth opine that the magnitude and grandeur of contemporary games doth contribute to the predicament. Wherefore, in former times, video games were of brevity, and fans did make purchase of them oft. Presently, colossal games do allow players to immerse themselves for countless hours within a singular title. He doth mention Skyrim as an exemplar.
Wyrdsong yet doth undergo development, with a team replete with illustrious names boasting years of experience. Nonetheless, sans additional funding and aid to aid in its completion, Gardiner doth caution that the release of the game might perchance be in jeopardy. “The hazard of it never seeing the light of day doth fill me with melancholy. Hence, I do toil ardently to avert such a fate.”
