Covenant of Gears Brings Steampunk Tactical RPG Action and Classic CRPG Vibes
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Super AC has announced Covenant of Gears: The Three Musketeers, a tactical RPG blending classic CRPG mechanics with a steampunk 17th-century French setting.
Fans of classic tactical roleplaying games have a new title on their radar. Developer and publisher Super AC recently announced Covenant of Gears: The Three Musketeers, a tactical RPG that leans heavily into the traditions of the golden era of CRPGs while charting its own path. Reported by Polygon, the game drops players into a reinvented 17th-century France fueled by alternate history and intricate steampunk technology, offering a distinct visual and mechanical identity.
Instead of a standard fantasy realm, the campaign centers on the legendary quartet from Alexandre Dumas. Players take command of Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan as they navigate political intrigue mixed with clockwork innovation. While recent French hits like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 proved that the region's developers can command the global spotlight, Covenant of Gears is targeting a different crowd. It aims squarely at players who miss the isometric perspective, deep tactical combat, and structured party dynamics of titles like Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate.
For communities that treat deep-dive single-player campaigns as their primary escape, this announcement is a welcome change of pace from endless live-service updates. Super AC has not yet locked in a release date, but the initial pitch is already turning heads among retro enthusiasts and strategy fans alike. You can read the original coverage over at Polygon.
