The names

Leto · Λητώ

In Greek mythology, Leto is the Titaness of motherhood and quiet endurance, mother of Apollo and Artemis, hunted across the known world and hidden from it until she found the one wandering island that would let her rest. A name for someone who protects what matters and survives being hunted through every era… except our Leto rocks a bada$$ Colt .45 with special powers…

Kāla · काल

Kāla is the ancient Sanskrit personification of Time itself, the force that ripens all things and then devours them, a title worn by gods of endings. A name for someone the timeline itself seems to answer to.

Glimpses of the levels

These are fully interactive and rendered in a 3D engine. You can see below we are also targeting some photo-realism with new tools, with a level of co-op/multiplayer also embedded into the game along with other social and interactive real-time features as well.

Three glimpses, out of order.

In addition to cutting-edge 3D gameplay in the latest engines, we are also targeting as close to photo-realism as possible with the newest tools.

Deprecating advanced photo-realism for later builds…
