Dontnod, developer of Life is Strange and the upcoming Vampyre, has inked a cope with Bandai Namco to create a brand new IP.
The new undertaking, revealed by MCV, will likely be a story journey, presumably much like Life is Strange.
The sport is about in a fictional metropolis within the US, and a part of the gameplay will contain a variety of investigative work. Though it has been in improvement since final yr, the pair received’t formally reveal it till someday in 2018.
Interestingly, a part of the explanation why it takes place in a US metropolis is as a result of Namco needed the sport to “win” with the US market, which in flip helps entice a broader viewers globally.
“We want [new IPs] to make up 50 per cent of our business, and we’re achieving this by developing long-term partnerships with a few studio,” stated VP of promoting and digital at Namco, Hervé Hoerdt.
“The first visible part of this was Little Nightmares, and we’ve been extremely happy [with it], but this is only the start of something. We also recently released Get Even, and now we’re very happy to partner with Dontnod.”
We solely have the idea artwork above to go purchase, however Hoerdt stated that the story will likely be emotional, letting us dive deeper into the psychology of characters.
The undertaking is being developed by a group inside Dontnod separate from the one at present engaged on Life is Strange 2. It has not been confirmed for any platforms simply but.
