Chris Wilson says new ARPG will be much smaller than Path of Exile

Chris Wilson says his new, unannounced action-RPG won't be comparable in size to Path of Exile, and he worries fans will be disappointed when it's revealed. "What we're making is small," he stresses. "What we're making is not a thing that's huge, like Path of Exile, and I worry that because at some stage we're going to announce our game – this is years away, like we're in stealth mode for quite a while – but at some stage we'll announce our game, and I really worry the reaction is going to be, 'What?

All this time and you just made that?'" Wilson warns that people expecting "the next huge online game" with a $100 million budget should know Light Pattern is a "tiny" studio with about 10 employees. He's "loving" working with such a small team because "you get to work really closely with everyone" and "you understand everything that's going into the game" like "the good old days of game development," and the project is much smaller in scope than Path of Exile or Diablo 4.
