UPDATE 2pm UK: In a fresh announcement today, Frogwares has revealed a new project which the studio has pivoted onto due to the war in Ukraine.
Project Palianytsia is an “eldritch horror coupled with Victorian-era mystery”, and a smaller-scale title than the open world game it previously planned as its next project.
The word palianytsia refers to a Ukrainian bread – chosen, says Frogwares, “for Russians who often can’t pronounce it correctly when trying to pass off as Ukrainian. And so now it’s often used in the field as a test to quickly identify possible affiliation of unknown individuals”.
