Get out the surveillance cameras and prepare the reports — Alawar has officially announced the development of Beholder 3, the next installment in the series about life under a totalitarian regime.
Alawar has officially announced the development of Beholder 3, the continuation of the series about life under a totalitarian regime. The publisher hasn’t released many details, but it’s known that Beholder 3 will take place under a different government in a different time period.
Alawar will be developing the game with Paintbucket Games, an indie studio from Germany, and will also serve as its publisher.
The first two entries in the series were very well received by players and critics alike, releasing in over 100 countries and selling almost 3 million copies. The games take place in a totalitarian state ruled by the Wise Leader. The first game sees players take on the role of Carl Stein, a building manager who must spy on his tenants, report them and make difficult moral decisions in the process. By contrast, Evan Redgrave – the protagonist of the second game – is no mere public servant. He must build a career in the Ministry and gain power as he investigates the death of his father, brings order to the government and (ideally) takes charge himself. And alongside these ambitious goals, he still has difficult decisions to make.
While Alawar hasn’t yet given an exact release date for Beholder 3, the game is expected to appear in 2022.
