The Russian independent studio Dieselship Studio, formerly known as Nebesa Games, has presented the debut trailer for its new game Olympus 2249.

The team became known for Olympus 2207, one of the largest and most highly acclaimed modifications for Fallout 2. Years of experience working with the post-apocalyptic universe allowed the developers to establish a fully-fledged commercial studio and move the development of the original franchise to Unreal Engine 4.

Olympus 2249 is being created as a classic isometric cRPG and takes players to a post-nuclear America styled after dieselpunk. The story takes place 42 years after the events of Olympus 2207, but presents a completely standalone story that does not require familiarity with the studio's previous work.

The game world has turned into a scorched radioactive wasteland due to human greed and endless wars over resources.

The developers describe the karmic character alignment system as the main gameplay feature. At launch, five versions of the protagonist's worldview will be available, ranging from a classic moralist to an outright scoundrel, and this choice directly affects the available dialogue branches and quest chains.

Some quests will become unavailable with certain karma alignments, while others will open only for specific archetypes. By the finale, the character's worldview may also change under the influence of their own actions.

The combat system is built around turn-based battles that make use of the environment and tactical techniques. The developers encourage players to take advantageous positions, blow up diesel barrels near enemies, use electricity and traps, and target opponents' limbs. Combat abilities consume tonic points, forcing players to plan every move.

The developers also emphasized that the game's quests are designed around using skills and various systems rather than simply eliminating a target. Even a mundane item search is presented as an opportunity for a small adventure.

The release* *Olympus 2249 in early access for PC is scheduled for October 6, 2026, with the game being published by Dieselship Studio itself.

The game's Steam page is already available. Several languages are supported, including Russian.
