Yep, it's actually clear in this french article, they have not renew their contract with Sony.

good for sony, they obviously weren't going to continue working with QD after we found out what a pos cage is and how horribly he runs that studio.
I wonder if they will continue to make the same type of games. And if not, I hope Supermassive picks up where they left off.
That should shoot down both the Sony and Microsoft rumors then, and make it more likely they're going third party.
Studio is a hit or miss. I really enjoyed Heavy Rain, didn't like Beyond and loved Detroit. I am looking forward to their next game
Is there anything in that article that suggests Quantic Dream turned down Sony or vice versa?
Probably for the best for Sony. They still get the game without the associated hassle or costs. The fact it will also be on PC and Xbox doesn't hurt anyone.
Yup.Detroit was,essentially,pretty good AAA p&c adventure game.It would do well on PC.
Glad Sony seemingly dropped them, though I find it weird how here it's celebrated when NetEase is investing in QD, but people fear monger them giving Bungie money to do the same.
For all we know they could be going "first party" to NetEase :P What I meant to say but I typed too quick to realize I'm dumb is that it's almost certain this means multiplatform games from now. Not necessarily, of course, but it's very likely. Unless they start concentrating on PC games only (for Asian markets) or mobile, which seems counterintuitive to say the least.
This is a huge investment and it speaks volumes about the talent and vision of Quantic Dream. I can only imagine their next few games are going to be even bigger than Detroit in terms of choices and consequences, which is a great thing IMO. Maybe they'll even dabble in making episodic releases. Congrats to Quantic Dream!
Edit: okay, I'm not sure if it's a huge investment, but it certainly must be a lot of money to allow the team to expand and try and tackle multiple titles and platforms for the future, unlike their previous few games which were focused on a single platform.

Cool. Sony can finally cut them loose and spend their David Cage money on games that don't support that psycho.
Truly the pinnacles of storytelling over at QD now can reach millions of new people with their bullshit-ass writing and deaf tone:
while pc is very likely, i expect they'd still be putting games on consoles. a chinese company has invested in them to make money, it's not necessarily about making money in china.
There never was a contract according to Cage, Sony just let them do what they wanted, so they were happy to keep working on I.P for them.
Sony and Quantic Dream always had a per-game deal, so this talk of renewal is nonsense. It also makes a lot of sense for QD to look for a partner like NetEase to greatly expand their scope of development.
I seriously doubt they will ever stop releasing interactive adventure games, but I wouldn't be surprised if they ever attempt to make a multiplayer one. But there'll certainly be more single player titles in the future.
