Can someone explain succinctly the timeline of this game’s development? I heard it was being developed by one studio, then it entered development hell and got passed over to another studio. I don’t know if there is a third studio involved in this story.
Not an expert on it, partially due to trying to keep the game as out of mind as possible as to temper disappointment, but a general outline:
Game is announced as in development. Being developed by Hardsuit labs (Blacklight Retribution) with several notable members of the team from the first game.
Team starts hemorrhaging talent and game quietly misses original 2020 release window.
Silence for a while, game presumed in hell or dead
New dev team announced, though originally not revealed whom
Silence again
Team revealed to be The Chinese Room (Dear Esther, A Machine for Pigs, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture) which was in line with rumors
Team starts officially talking about the game and development decisions <-We are here
Game’s new release date announced
…
Here there be dragons
…
“Reception”
The game could end up being good, but damn if there’s not a steep hill to climb to get there. Given the first game and what happened as well, we might have the makings of a cursed IP perception.
