"David Cage's Quantic Dream is world-renowned for its cinematic story-driven games that promise extraordinary levels of interaction and choice and sometimes instead deliver badly written nonsense about ninjas or something. So who better than the developers of Indigo Prophesy and Detroit: Become Human to pick up the endlessly dropped baton of the next great Overwatch-like? That's the plan according to Cage who, in a blog post on the company's site, explained the much-expanded studio is working on a "competitive multiplayer experience, born from the same spirit of curiosity and creativity that has always defined us.""
""This new title may surprise our fans as it is very different from what we have done so far," Cage continues. "But taking risks, challenging ourselves, exploring new ways of playing and telling stories, and attempting what seems impossible, has always been part of our DNA." It's honestly hard to see any of this innovative originality in the trailer that dropped as I was writing this. Spellcasters might end up being completely brilliant for all I know, but the 3×3 hero shooter looks astonishingly generic to my eyes, indistinguishable from a dozen other wannabes."
Quantic Dream is developing Spellcasters, a competitive multiplayer 3×3 hero shooter, and is also allegedly working on a Star Wars game. The studio is known for cinematic, story-driven single-player games and is expanding into competitive multiplayer to explore new gameplay and storytelling approaches. Leadership describes the project as born from curiosity, creativity, risk-taking, and a desire to challenge the studio's norms. Early footage presents a conventional hero-shooter aesthetic resembling many existing titles. The studio previously faced accusations of a toxic workplace, including homophobia, racism, and punishing crunch, and the founders responded legally to media coverage.
