Oh FFS! There's a strong rumour doing the rounds that Quantic Dream is busy beavering away on a second PlayStation 4 project in addition to Detroit: Become Human – except it's the flakiest piece of reporting we've seen in some time. While it wouldn't exactly be shocking to learn that the French outfit is prototyping other titles – it's common practice at virtually every studio to have half an eye on future projects – this rumour practically beggars belief.
It comes care of two Quantic Dream employees who left the studio in 2014 and listed an "unannounced PS4 project" on their Linked In profiles. Guess what game wasn't announced until a whole year later at Paris Games Week? That's right, Detroit: Become Human. Do you think, oh intelligent games media, that the ex-staffers could be referring to the android-based escapade and simply forgot to update their resumes? Ummm.
Quantic Dream's been a one-game studio for the longest time, so until we hear otherwise, we're pretty confident it's fully focused on Kara and crew for now. Might it have other ideas buzzing around in the background? Sure, but we wished people would use a bit of common sense with stuff like this. Terrible reporting is terrible.

I did here something about this elsewhere - can't remember where now. No souce was mentioned but then they didn't state that link either. I didn't pay much attention as I am not a fan of their games. If I can find it, I will watch it again and see what was said...
I am sure it was in a video about Scorpio and referencing MS games (or lack of) with QD's bringing out Detroit and another in the works - essentially used to increase the number of games the Sony could have out at the end of the year that MS would struggle to compete with - if memory is correct
hoping we get a date soon for detroit. i get that quantic's games are pretty divisive, but i really liked heavy rain, and to a lesser extent beyond two souls, and everytime i see detroit it looks more intriguing/promising.
lol I love how mad Sammy gets at stories like this.
Hopefully we hear more about Detroit soon though. I was mixed on Beyond: Two Souls but still enjoyed it overall.
Considering how Quantic can barely handle one game, the idea of them doing multiple titles at once shoulda killed this rumor dead.
thats why I love this site
The shade throwing at hack gaming journalism is on point, keep doing what you do Push Square.
lol
Yeah, that's a pretty weird conclusion to come to. Also, from whispers I've heard they hadn't really started recording/filming the other sections of the game properly until late last year, so I highly doubt that an future projects would have much focus anyway.
Maybe they have gone really meta and it was like a development choice that split the dev team in two different directions to produce variants of the same game?
