It’s not every day that you see an isometric game with big-budget production values and AAA-level cinematics. Now, what if I told you the game is being made by a mere 15 people? Such is the case with Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream, an isometric stealth game made in Unreal Engine 5, coming to PC and consoles in 2025.
A new extended gameplay trailer opens with some jaw-dropping cinematics, rendered in-engine, before transitioning to gameplay. It’s only one trailer, but Eriksholm boasts some of the best performance capture I’ve seen since Horizon Forbidden West, courtesy of UE5’s MetaHuman technology. I mean, just look at that lip-syncing.
From a gameplay perspective, players will control three protagonists as they navigate the fictional Nordic-inspired city of Eriksholm to find one of the protagonists’ missing brother. Use shadows, hiding places, tools, and distractions to navigate environments and outsmart enemies throughout the early 1900s setting of Eriksholm as you unravel the mysterious disappearance.
