Detroit: Become Human
Quantic Dream’s latest ‘choose your own adventure’ cinematic game has been flying under the radar for quite some time now, but Sony certainly hasn’t forgotten about it. Detroit: Become Human was first announced during Paris Games Week 2015, but it was also shown off at Sony’s E3 press conference just last year. While the initial announcement trailer only featured cinematic scenes of a future Detroit where androids were ruled over by humans, Quantic Dream was quick to show off some proper gameplay less than a year later. The gameplay trailer gave fans a look at how the investigation segments would work, and how players could use a character’s knowledge to shift the outcome of various events.
Detroit: Become Human’s script had also taken director David Cage two years to write, and the project has gone through extensive casting, along with shooting and animation processes. Yes, we know Sony CEO Shuhei Yoshida said Dreams and Detroit’s inclusion in the company’s 2017 sizzle reel was a mistake, but fans have been outright bluffed or thrown for a loop before when it comes to game releases and features. It could also mean that Quantic Dream isn’t sure if the game can make it out this year, but nothing’s set in stone just yet.
While Sony and Quantic Dream have been particularly tight-lipped about when exactly this game would be releasing, we wouldn’t be surprised if Detroit makes another appearance at E3 this year, along with an announcement of a holiday season launch.
