Dontnod Entertainment, the developers that created 2013’s Remember Me, is teaming up with Square Enix on their next title, according to Develop Online. The game will be a digital release, though neither company has made it clear if the game will be a new IP, a sequel, or a spin-off.
The CEO of Dontnod, Oskar Guilbert, said, “We’re very excited to be working with Square Enix on our new game… It’s a twist on traditional story-driven games and we can’t wait to share more with you soon.” Lee Singleton, GM and COO of Square Enix London, said, “I’ve known Oskar and some of the team at Dontnod for quite a while now. They’re very talented so they’ve been on my list of studios I’d like to work with but we’ve never found the right game until now… We are not ready to announce the game details today, but I can tell you that I’m excited. This game feels refreshingly different from traditional story-driven games and you won’t have to wait long before we share more details.”
“Soon” and “won’t have to wait long” both indicate to me that they’re referring to next week’s E3, which means we won’t have to wait very long at all to hear the news. I would secretly love to see a sequel to Remember Me, which – while it wasn’t a phenomenal game – had so much potential and could really benefit from feedback for the first game. Seeing as they published that with Capcom, though, that’s probably not going to happen.
