If you loved exploring the vast, magical lands of Skyrim and other Bethesda RPGs, get ready for something similarly epic. Nate Purkeypile, a former developer on multiple Bethesda games including Skyrim, is cooking up something truly unique with his new project, The Axis Unseen.
This game features an enemy that stands at a jaw-dropping 846 feet. But that’s just the beginning of this heavy-metal-inspired horror game.
The 846-Foot-Tall Enemy in the Axis Unseen
The Axis Unseen features one of the biggest enemies ever seen in gaming, a staggering 846 feet tall. No footage of this enemy has been shared so far, but it’ll be interesting to see how it looks in-game.
My current biggest creature is 846 feet tall
Or as tall as 141 people
Or as tall as a 60 story building

The game puts players in the shoes of a hunter in a mysterious world where ancient creatures and supernatural elements are the norm. The twist is that you only have a bow and arrow to defend yourself. This game will definitely test your skills and nerves as you navigate its dark and haunting locations. it’s going to be one heck of a challenge.
In The Axis Unseen, you’ll need to explore the wilderness, hunt for resources, and most importantly, survive. The environment itself is a character in this game, with dynamic weather, day-night cycles, and a world that reacts to your actions. The combat isn’t just point-and-shoot either. Since you’ve got a bow, you’ll need to master it. Different types of arrows, special abilities, and gadgets will be included.
Purkeypile has shared that the game’s story and world are inspired by various folklore and mythological tales from around the world. Another pretty cool aspect of the game is its visual style. Drawing from Purkeypile’s experience in creating the stunning landscapes of Skyrim, this game looks breathtaking. The world is designed to be both beautiful and haunting, with attention to detail that pulls you in and keeps you immersed.
The music also plays a huge role in setting the tone and the vibe. The soundtrack is designed to immerse you in this mystical, dangerous world, with haunting melodies and intense rhythms that change depending on what’s happening in the game.
The Axis Unseen’s Terrifying Wilderness Can Be Explored Later This Year
The Axis Unseen is set to release in October of this year. The game is the brainchild of Purkeypile, a former developer for Bethesda’s hit games including Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and Starfield.
Purkeypile was a big part of bringing those games’ epic worlds to life, working as a lead artist. Now, he’s taken all that experience and poured it into something fresh and super ambitious to create something of his own via his indie studio.
The Axis Unseen is an open-world survival horror game, but it’s not your typical game of the genre. This game dips into folklore and myths, creating an eerie atmosphere that’s haunting. Imagine a world where ancient legends come to life, and every shadow hides a threat. That’s the essence of this game, according to Purkeypile.
Purkeypile’s new venture is with his own studio, Just Purkey Games. This indie setup has given him the freedom to explore some wild ideas, and judging by what we’ve seen so far, he’s not holding back on his creative and dark ideas.
