This is Hawthorn, a new game that looks like a cross between Skyrim and Stardew Valley

Today we discover the very first game from NEARstudios, a company made up of industry veterans who have worked on games such as The Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, The Last of Us and Mass Effect.

Hawthorn is an open-world RPG filled with anthropomorphic animals and fairy-like creatures where you can farm, craft, explore and much more. You can play it alone or coop with friends.

Progress is dictated by battles. Each one can be resolved peacefully or through direct confrontation. Random events pop on the map, as well as metearological events from each of the four seasons.

Hawthorn will launch on Steam at a date yet to be announced.
