We enjoyed 2021’s Lost in Random and have patiently awaited more news on its upcoming follow-up, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die. A new developer diary provides a little more insight into Stormteller Games’ approach to storytelling, the game’s increased emphasis on action, and the voice talent involved.
The Eternal Die is something of a sophomore shakeup. Stormteller Games sits at the helm previously occupied by the first game’s developer, Zoink, and brings some new ideas while retaining the dice-focused melee action that made the first game a cult favorite.
Narrative director Oskar Hanska discusses how the game isn’t “Lost in Random 2,” hence why it stars a different but familiar protagonist. Queen Aleksandra, who ruled the world of Random in the first game, is the star of this adventure, joined by her die companion, Fortune. The video also touches on The Eternal Die’s more challenging and faster-paced action (this is a roguelite, unlike the last game) and highlights the voice work, such as Aleksandra’s performer Elsie Lovelock, whose previous video game credits include Metaphor: ReFantazio and Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is scheduled to launch this summer for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC.
