Developer Quantic Dream is rumoured to be working on a second title beyond the recently announced Star Wars: Eclipse, with the mystery game reportedly taking more of a comedic direction.
The rumour comes from Twitter user AccountNGT (as spotted by VGC). The feed has some precedent in its predictions, having accurately identified Star Wars: Eclipse a week before its reveal at The Game Awards in December 2021.

AccountNGT claims the game will be based on Quantic Dream’s The Dark Sorcerer, a 12-minute cinematic revealed way back at E3 2013, ostensibly purely as a showcase of the PS4’s power. A comic short, the elaborate but brief movie followed a beleaguered actor trying to film a fantasy trailer while plagued by on-set errors.
The related game is said to be a “medieval fantasy” with a “non-linear storyline” written by Quantic Dream’s David Cage, with gameplay “based on narrative interactivity”.
If true, the untitled game would appear to be following the same production trajectory as , which itself began life as the 2011 cinematic .
