So the game is only on the "idea-stage".. they plan to make a small demo of the game for internal use next year.. there are no deadlines for the game (or anything at this studio)..

so you will have to wait for a VERY long time to see or hear anything about this game..

Day 1.

Fishsnot · Oct 1, 2018

Knowing that it's a new game from Playdead is enough to be an instant day 1.

Spenny · Oct 1, 2018

Can't wait. Love their games!

Tom Glass · Oct 1, 2018

My body is ready

Inside is one of the best games this gen, and one of my favourites overall.

These guys are evolving the experiences they create and I'll be there day 1 to see where they go next.

ASarafanov · Oct 1, 2018

Hope to see it on Switch. I bought Inside and Limbo for Switch. Awesome games.

Rock Howard · Oct 1, 2018

They should take their sweet sweet time and make it a meaningful and interesting experience just like Inside.

Deleted member 2254 · Oct 1, 2018

I'm a simple man. I see Playdead, I press Pre-Order. Limbo and Inside are two of the most memorable gaming experiences I've had in the past decade, so they earned my trust in whatever they'll do. Even if the setting or story looked less interesting than usual, I'd still play it without hesitation.

raviolico · Oct 1, 2018

Great but sounds far, far away....

TheCrackedJack · Oct 1, 2018

Bring on that sweet, sweet, 2022-2024 release date.

samb_rules · Oct 1, 2018

Can't come soon enough

One of THE top devs in the industry when it comes to establishing an atmosphere of consistent dread without being gratuitous.
Can't wait for another trip into their macabre world.

Added to OP.

Hesemonni · Oct 1, 2018

... And I still need to play Inside.

forgiventhrice · Oct 1, 2018

I will be there Day one DV

Definitely should. I fucking loved Inside. Such a surreal experience.

eZipsis · Oct 1, 2018

Day -3.

Cecil · Oct 1, 2018

There were a lot of things I really disliked with Inside, almost hated, but the production values of the game still makes me a bit interested in this

Nozem · Oct 1, 2018

Absolutely Day 1.

Hesemonni said:

I envy you.

hank_tree · Oct 1, 2018

Hopefully they remember to put some puzzles in this one, unlike Inside.

Bedameister · Oct 1, 2018

This will be amazing. Can't wait.

SpinlyLimbs · Oct 1, 2018

Awesome. Hopefully it gives a few more answers than Inside did. I loved the mystery of that world, but I'm not fond of how after thinking about it the only real thing that could be given was theories.

Phendrana · Oct 1, 2018

The two founders of the company had a falling out and parted ways a few years ago. Hopefully that doesn't affect the quality of the next game.

OléGunner · Oct 1, 2018

They always take eons to make a game but its always worth it.
Inside in particular is a masterpiece.

This game being sci-fi hits all the right notes for me

pswii60 · Oct 1, 2018

Wow, seriously can't wait. One of my favourite developers and one of the few where anything they release will be a day one purchase.

XVerdena · Oct 1, 2018

Can't wait to play it in 2025

Both of them working on a sci-fi game, the other one being the stunning looking Somerville.

Wow, and Inside was over 2 years ago so I'm surprised they're still at the prototype stage of their new game. I guess they're secured for funding + enough money still coming in from previous games that they can happily go 6 years between releases with no need to rush.

DriftingSpirit · Oct 1, 2018

You have my interest.

Oh..... :(

Well, take your time!

Ciao · Oct 1, 2018

I 100% trust this team, Limbo was good but Inside was amazing!

What was the falling out about?

angel · Oct 1, 2018

Will be brilliant, will be 8 years away.

SeanMN · Oct 1, 2018

Absolutely day 1 for this. I loved Limbo, and Inside was even better - one of my favorite games this generation.

The dream result of the split is we get twice as many Playdead-quality titles. Hopefully that's the case!

Falchion · Oct 1, 2018

Great to hear and I remember that concept art looking stunning.

Cabbagehead · Oct 1, 2018

Day 0

Dabanton · Oct 1, 2018

DAY ONE.

Wondrous devs.

hydruxo · Oct 1, 2018

Day 1, will buy sight unseen.

Neutra · Oct 1, 2018

i just played and loved Inside, guess i'll settle in for a long wait for the next one...

Deleted member 6235 · Oct 1, 2018

Can't wait. Surprised to see that they're already around 40 people.

I don't think it ever got public.

honest_ry · Oct 1, 2018

Inside of one if the best pieces of media I have ever experienced. Not just in games.

So whatever they have planned I'm excited for.

Aters · Oct 1, 2018

Whatever it is sign me.up

Scrobbles · Oct 1, 2018

Inside is one of the best games I've ever played. I'm fine with waiting however long it'll take them to make this.

TheSpaceBetween · Oct 1, 2018

Will be ready to play day 1 in 2023 when it releases.

Reedirect · Oct 1, 2018

I always wondered how does a small independent studio manage to stay financially above water when they only release a game like every 5-6 years. I'm sure Inside sold well enough for them, but to hold them over for the next five years? Doesn't seem right. Probably a lot of state and private funding involved.

carlosrox · Oct 1, 2018

Playdead = instabuy, especially after INSIDE.

Amazing masterful work of art.
