The people over at Frictional Games appear to have one thing new within the works. The studio has largely been quiet since releasing SOMA again in 2015 except for including a monster-free Safe Mode to the spooky underwater game. Frictional overhauled their previous web site simply earlier than taking a vacation break and within the replace have added a brand new entry to the “games” tab merely known as “Next Frictional Game.”
There’s no telling but what Frictional’s subsequent venture can be although the replace suggests we’ll in all probability hear one thing sooner reasonably than later. For a very long time, the area nextfrictionalgame.com merely had a little bit of textual content on it saying “Our next project has not yet been announced.”
That’s now been changed with—nicely I don’t know what it’s nevertheless it’s positively not these phrases anymore. The pulsing image appears to be like prefer it could be a mind neuron or one thing of the like. There’s a screenshot beneath for these of you with sharper eyes than me to take a gander at.
With their historical past because the builders of SOMA and Amnesia: The Dark Descent, I think about that Frictional’s subsequent game—regardless of the specifics could also be—will nonetheless be a horror or thriller game. If I’m right in regards to the neuron factor, the studio may very well be engaged on one thing else within the SOMA universe.
The underwater apocalypse horror game had loads to do with brains, recollections, and the existential horror of what it really means to be alive. I’m continually telling people who take pleasure in narrative games to take a shot at SOMA even when they don’t sometimes go for horror so I’d personally like to see Frictional take us again to that story.
All that’s only a guess, in fact. Frictional may very well be making a battle royale or auto chess game. I hear these are in proper now. For my cash although, that pulsing factor appears to be like doubtlessly spooky so I’ll financial institution on the Amnesia people sticking to territory they’re aware of.
