Sounds like an interesting setting. If done right, it could address some of the moral difficulties of colonization and empire building.

So we have a Gunpowder Age setting combined with fantasy this time? As the human looks like a witch hunter, and the woman looks like Dryad who uses nature magic.
Bottom line it has my interest as Technomancer was one of Spiders best RPGs.

I think it screams… Risen 3. This time on one island, with French flavour, without pirates but with inspiration from AC.
- art and colonial locations heavily inspired by AC
- monsters inspired by Witcher 3 and their previous title Bound by Flame
- combat, AI and companions will be evolution of Technomancer
- big island inspired by Risen series (Piranha's works)
- some fractions inspired by Risen 3 (mages vs scholars utilising local "power", inquisition force vs colonial force)
I have to disagree, Farlame. Did you ever play Silverfall? It sold well here in Europe, I'm not sure how it did in the states. It was a really interesting idea, but the gameplay was sort of meh. Still it was kind of Diablo with two factions. You couldn't play a real neutral, and siding with the colonists made some areas friendlier and siding with the natives made other areas friendlier. Plus even though you had 3 basic classes, a nature ranger character had access to different weapons and additional abilities than a tech character. The conflict and factions were far sharper than they were in Risen 3, plus they had the idea long before Risen.
I like the setting itself; but there are a lot of holes yet to be filled in 
Same here.
I hope they don't use the same control scheme as bound by flame. I found myself unable to move effectively and returned the game after about 30 minutes (if it's the game I'm thinking of). Mars: War logs I enjoyed far more since you could pause and the controls seemed less finicky. I only play with a mouse and generally have trouble with control schemes designed for controllers..
Consider me interested too. I like the setting, let's see what they do with it.

I wish. But IMO it screems Assassins Creed 4.
Will wait for more news - what you kill in Risen 3 rarely revives and you can make millions of savegames. In AC4 everything is brought back to life and in cases of power shortage all you have is the recent (automatic) checkpoint.
