Deadly Premonition Prequel, Sequel, And More From Swery Planned

Ever since Deadly Premonition came into my life last year as a deeply flawed yet utterly lovable mess of a game, I've been eager to see what's next from Access Games director Hidetaka Suehiro, better known as Swery. Unsurprisingly, he has some very ambitious plans.

Speaking to Metro last week at Gamescom, Swery made it clear that he would like to continue Deadly Premonition as a franchise, with plans for a prequel, a sequel, and a special edition of the original game. The only info Swery provided on the special edition is that it will apparently feature a graphical improvement from the original.

Beyond the Deadly Premonition plans, Swery also stated that he's begun working on an original, narrative-driven, action-adventure game that has drawn interest from multiple Western publishers.

As might be expected from such a huge laundry list of potential future projects, nothing is being announced for certain yet, so it's possible for any or all of these plans to fall through. Whatever Swery works on next, though, I'm glad to see he's getting some attention for the bizarrely unique style he put on display in Deadly Premonition.

  • " A graphical improvement over the original" Why do that?, that was a big part of the originals charm
  • It better not be better than the first one. I mean that in good way.

  • Never played the first but at least they are confident in the series.

  • YES PLEASE!

  • Awesome.

  • If a sequel pans out, I'll be happy to purchase Deadly Premonition
  • Hopefully the special edition will be for PS3, as well as 360. I would love to try out Deadly Premonition, but I only have a PS3 and Wii.
  • ...............maybe a port over to PS3????
  • This just in, Activision releasing prequel, sequel, and postquel of Call of Duty: Waffle Iron.

  • This is the greatest thing I've read in in years.

  • I hope it still is exclusive
  • I just read IGN's review...pretty harsh imo

  • Doesn't matter what Swery's next project is. It could be a game about a man sitting in a room for 20 hours and it would still be a day-one purchase for me.

  • Oh, heck-stinking-YEAH! I'd cancel all my other pre-orders right now and plunk the money down on some more Deadly Premonition if only i could!
  • Since I own a PS3 I never got a chance to play it at first I was fine with that but I keep hearing how intriguing and neat the game was so I kinda hope he does something with the PS3 this time around.
  • I just couldn't get in to DP, but I'll give it another shot because it seems there will be some good stuff coming out tying into it.

  • Mod

    Life is beautiful with more Deadly Premonition.

  • it got potential

  • Such an understated classic.

  • This just made my *** life, a prequel AND a sequel AND a special edition of the original!? <3
