ward-games.comProject Lexa is Now Lexa!We're excited to announce the new name of Project Lexa!

While we've been hard at work on Project Lexa, we've also been trying to answer a very important question: what's the final name of this game going to be? Well, now we have an answer — Project Lexa is now just Lexa! ward-games.com/post/project...

That name doesn't just apply to the game's title either! Lex is now Lexa too!

Was working on a custom camera for a cutscene in Lexa and right now it looks like she went to a planetarium show and can't find her seat.

Project Lexa is a game all about translating an alien language, but how do you actually do that? With the help of your handy-dandy translator, of course! Our latest blog post is all about the game's most important piece of UI and how it has evolved during development.

With Grand Theft Auto 6 delayed and out of the way, we can finally announce that… we still don’t have a release date for Project Lexa. Or even a name, for that matter.

Yesterday we talked to you about the crew working on Project Lexa. Today, we’re talking about the crew *inside* Project Lexa! ward-games.com/post/meet-cr...

Leading the team is Captain Billon “Bill” Maddox! Seasoned yet not so sure of himself, Maddox has been tasked with captaining this small crew on a low pressure reconnaissance mission. Surely nothing bad will happen!

And rounding out the crew is the ship’s assigned M.A.R.C. unit. M.A.R.C. — or the Multitool Armament for Robotic Consultation — is a helpful, but chatty, robot that has just as much chance to help the crew as get in their way!

Need someone who knows everything about weapons and armaments? Seric Boltzmann’s your guy. The crew’s weapons officer is a seasoned vet that isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty — or even crack a joke every once in a while!

Making sure the crew stays safe and healthy is serious business! That’s why they’re happy to have onboard Mo Babbitt, the ship’s no-nonsense medical officer.

You’ll be playing as Lex Kelza, an “interface specialist” in the world of Project Lexa. Interface specialists handle all things communication — managing comms devices, conducting diplomatic missions, and translating languages! We think that last one will be pretty important during the game...

One of your crewmates is engineer Clarke Jansky. Extremely talented but always nervous, Jansky handles all things technological. He even built his own prosthetic arm!

It’s been amazing getting to work with the team at Ward Games, and I’m super excited to see how this project continues to develop! 🤘❤️🤘

Without any audio, our game would be as quiet as the vacuum of space! That’s why we have our incredible composer, Chris Lucca (@flipluka.bsky.social), who’s helping give Project Lexa an awesome soundscape and soundtrack!
