Quantic Dream SA is a French game developer that also provides motion capture services to the film industry. Her first game, The Nomad Soul , was released in 1999 for Windows and Dreamcast .
General
Quantic Dream was founded in 1997 by David Cage and first received major attention after the completion of the computer games Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain . The two games are very similar in concept and are sometimes also considered interactive films . Furthermore, Quantic Dream attaches great importance to the plot that its games should tell. Most of the stories can be assigned to the genre (psycho) thriller . As a player, you often find yourself in a dark world.
On October 8, 2013, Beyond: Two Souls appeared with Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe in the lead roles. The game sold a million copies by the end of 2013. Also, Beyond: Two Souls is to resemble interactive movie rather than a game. As with Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain, the story and characters are clearly in the foreground.
Detroit: Become Human was released on May 25, 2018. The game is also an interactive film. Originally just intended as a tech demo for Heavy Rain , it became the game where Jesse Williams , Valorie Curry, and Bryan Dechart play the androids in 2038.
At GDC 2019, Epic Games announced the release of the games Heavy Rain , Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human , previously available exclusively for the PlayStation 3 and / or PlayStation 4 , in the course of 2019 for the PC. The titles initially appeared exclusively for one year in the Epic Games Store . Since June 18, 2020, they are now also available on Steam.
In February 2020, Quantic Dream announced that it would rely on self-publication in the future ; the transformation to an independent studio is said to be completed by 2020.
