The story’s been posted pretty much everywhere, so we’d be remiss not to mention reports regarding Quantic Dream’s infamous Dark Sorcerer demo, which is apparently in development as Dreamland for the PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, the source is anything but watertight: it comes courtesy of a Twitter account which has since been closed down.
Now, there is reason to believe this kiboshed social media page, as it previously teased assets from Star Wars Eclipse before it was officially announced. According to the source, Dreamland is being written by studio co-founder David Cage and is based upon the same kind of “interactive storytelling” format that Quantic Dream has helped to pioneer over the years.
According to the source, AccountNGT, the game is currently being created as a cross-gen title, although this could yet change. To be fair, it wouldn’t be the first time the French developer has taken a tech demo and transformed it into a full-blown game: you may recall Kara eventually evolved into Detroit: Become Human.
Assuming all of this is accurate – and, to be honest, we have our doubts – we imagine it’ll be multiformat as Quantic Dream has completed its multi-game publishing contract with Sony Interactive Entertainment now. In truth, we would be curious to see how the Dark Sorcerer could be transformed into a full-game, as the original demo was very much a “sketch”.

I doubt this one as well. I’ve seen they have a new account now and claiming “this week Sony will go out with major reveals”

@B-I-G-DEVIL not the real one as it seems

I’ll care once David Cage is ousted with zero severance pay.
I liked the skit demo. Looked funny. If this actually becomes a game... I could see it going two ways...
1. The game is based on the sorcerer storyline they were trying to portray in the skit.
2. It could be about videogame characters (as that's who the "actors" were) in a darker version of Wreck it Ralph with more adult humor.
Either could be interesting.
I'd love for this to be true, but I'll wait for official confirmation before getting excited.
Be a good blow to Microsoft if this is true. Played many of their games.
@lolwhatno You might be on the wrong website? Not sure 🤔.
I really like QD, so I’d be stoked for this if true. I’m not a Star Wars fan so an original IP would be cool. Detroit was fantastic & got hated on unfairly imo.
@lolwhatno It's OK. I've mistaken Gary Busey for Nick Nolte on several occasions.
@IonMagi it’s fake but was right 😂 today has been mental. State of Play, MLB 22, Bungie, Discord
@lolwhatno No problem. I was a bit confused by the comment.
I do agree Dreams should be on PC. I dip in & out every once in a while & it’s cool, but it needs a bigger player base & an actual store front where people can sell their games.
@Uncharted2007 3.) They actually turn the game into a parody/comedy like the pitch/sketch video.
I'd play it for the laughs.
