Playdead Upping The "Weird" Factor For Limbo Follow-Up
The Danish developer says its secret new title will be even more off-kilter than its stunning debut.
The new single-player game, which has been under development for over year, is "similar in many ways [to Limbo], but so different" and "more 3D than you would think" according to Playdead co-founder Dino Patti. Speaking to Eurogamer, he says the studio hasn't revealed the game yet because Patti doesn't like to make gamers wait a long time before having the product in their hands.
"I want to have an announcement one month before, two weeks before or something," he remarked. "That's an ordinary person's attention span.
Playdead doesn't have a name or a publisher lined up yet, but it is planning on bringing the title to mutiple platforms at launch to expand the reach. "I want more people to play the game," he said. "Limbo sold really well, but if we'd done a multiplatform launch the first time it would be even bigger."
