After the huge and somewhat surprising success of Quantic Dream’s PlayStation 3 exclusive, Heavy Rain, one could only ponder what Dave Cage could be working on next. It emerged that they are working on a new title – albeit a game which is completely different from Heavy Rain – but details were kept under the shadows. Now, Cage has stated they’re working on not one but two new projects.
Speaking during an interview with Examiner, David Cage stated:
We currently work on two very different projects. Often, after a long and challenging project like Heavy Rain, it is difficult for the team to get excited again about a new idea. This is absolutely not the case at the moment at Quantic and all the team seems enthusiastic about the possibility of other projects. The team and the company continue to grow in experience, confidence and talent.
Heavy Rain was sure a risk with it being something totally unique but that’s what Cage wants to stick to and taking the risks to try something new can pay off – as seen with Heavy Rain.
After Heavy Rain, we have some credibility in experimenting with new IPs and new concepts. We are not going to play it safe from now, we are going to use this credibility to continue to take risks, give ourselves exciting challenges and try to invent new ways of playing. I believe that this is what Quantic Dream’s fans expect us to do. It is also what keeps me passionate about what we are doing.
Previously, it was believe that one of the projects Cage is working on is ‘Horizon’, another PlayStation 3 exclusive.
Whatever Cage and co are working on, I for one would gladly wait for what masterpiece they could be cooking up this time. Heavy Rain was awe-inspiring, no doubt their next game(s) could very well be the same, right?
