Chronicles:Medieval - anyone heard of this project currently in the works?

(To start: not the greatest title)

Popped up on my feed the other day and initially thought it was one of those fake game ads but turns out its not just real, but its being made but a legit crew. It looks right up my alley and something i've wanted for a while. Singel player RPG, Open world, medieval sandbox with large scale battles and potentially fallout4-esq building mechanics (but leaps ahead id hope)

Currently expected next year but with early access 'soon'.

Chronicles: Medieval throws you into a sprawling, dynamic sandbox in a brutal and beautiful European medieval world. Begin at the bottom, armed with nothing but grit and will. Earn your name in skirmishes, field battles, and sieges where every fight is a step towards more power. Build your castles, then hold them against those who would tear them down. Dominate the battlefield with ruthless melee actions, gear up, and adapt your tactics to crush anything the fight throws at you. Shape your destiny in a living, breathing realm where every decision echoes through history and every sword swing could change your fate.

Then theres this comment on reddit (take it with a huge grain of salt):

I have been following the founding of RPG(Raw Power Games) for a while and the newspapers here in Denmark have interviewed them 3 years ago. They only hire the best and therefore i didnt get a job at them. I follow most danish game companies though and these lads scaled from 23 people to 100 in just 3 years.

They currently have a plan for three games in a 10 year plan. First game is going to lay the foundation for the next two in terms of tools, engine modifications and gameplay mechanics.

They also have a three step plan for AI integration. First game will be using minor AI integrations. 2nd game will be more AI integrated and 3rd game will be devloped and generator largely with AI.

They have funding for many years and so will be the first game company to integrate a long dev cycle of 3 games integrating professional and handpicked AI technologies set to be curated in their implementation throughout the three games.

Personally AI is a point of congestion, but knowing a few of the people working there and the backlog of the whole crews experiences, if AI can be implemented in game dev, they will have to be the ones to do it. I hope it works out for them.

Now this is a few years ago so they might have pivoted away from AI. They do seem to not mention AI atm.

Cautiously optimistic about this (especially the part about the 3rd game - so im taking that with a huge grain of salt) but at least this first one, if it pans out, seems like something I would sink a large chunk of time in
