Overwatch Vet's New Game, The Legend Of California, Won't "Starve The Player" Early On

Former Blizzard veteran Jeff Kaplan now runs a new studio called Kintsugiyama, which just announced its first game, The Legend of California. Kaplan has now shared more details about the project, saying one of the main ambitions of the game is to get players to the action quickly.

In a video from the developer, Kaplan said The Legend of California won't be "starving" the player and will instead help them get "all the cool stuff" earlier in the experience.

"What makes this game really unique and special in my opinion is that we sort of fast-forward you to the cool stuff as quickly as possible," he said. "There is a bit of a start to the game where you are doing simpler things. But what excites us is the guns. The guns, the mining, the exploration, having a horse. Not starving the player out and forcing them to wait for all the cool content. We'd rather have you have access to these cool things. Go out, make a bunch of guns; make the guns that feel good for you."
