Former Irrational Devs Share An Early Peek At Black Glove
With the winding down of Irrational Games earlier this year, some of the former studio members have transitioned to other established developers. Others, like Joe Fielder, Robb Waters, and Chad King have struck out on their own.
The group, which is entirely made up of former Irrational team members, has dubbed itself Day for Night Games. The studio has been teasing images of its first title, The Black Glove, on Twitter and has dropped off a couple of images to tide us over for a while.
Fielder (a writer on BioShock Infinite, Burial at Sea, and the game’s tie in novella, Mind in Revolt) tells us that the team will be launching a Kickstarter in July, but for now shares that The Black Glove is a narrative, first-person adventure. It takes place in a theatre called The Equinox as players alter the past of key creators in the space.
Day for Night is keeping quiet on many of the details, including platforms and the specific mechanics of how players will alter the creators’ histories. The theatre bill below was designed by King (and environment artist on BioShock, BioShock Infinite, and Burial at Sea). The poster above was designed by Robb Waters, who is responsible for many of the iconic characters and props found in Irrational’s BioShock titles.
Our Take
It’s early yet, but I’m intrigued by the art for The Black Glove. I’m looking forward to learning more when the Kickstarter launches next month.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
