Quantic Dream just finished with Heavy Rain a couple of months ago and they are now busy crafting some new DLC for the title with Heavy Rain Chronicles, which will see the first chapter 'The Taxidermist' release on April 1st, but Cage and his team aren't slowing down.
While talking to on the latest episode of GTTV, David Cage stated that he has already written his next title and that we will see the game sooner than we think. Cage stated: "I have written the next game and have a very clear idea. It's not fully written, it's in the synapses stage, but I have a very clear idea of where I want to go next." When asked about the next game, Keighley says we'll have a long wait, in which Cage replied: "Yeah, maybe less then you think."
With the development cycle for games taking a couple of years now, it's likely whatever Cage is planning to develop next won't be viewed by the public or media for another couple of years, however, knowing he has already written the basics for the story is a major plus. If it uses the same engine as Heavy Rain, perhaps the wait will be far shorter.
What we do know is that it won't be a Heavy Rain sequel. He has stated in the past he won't revisit the Heavy Rain universe and will create a new world for us to explore. Whatever he is conjuring up, let's hope it's as original and innovated as Heavy Rain. We'll have a full review of the Taxidermist chapter go live on Monday. We have the latest screens of the DLC below in the slideshow.

just a few more weeks till the dlc. Can't wait to play that. =D
If it were to be made using the same engine, it would be exclusive to Playstation 3 too, right? Seeing as the engine is seemingly so perfectly optimised for the hardware...
how soon!?
2010 or early 2011?
and it has to be Omikron 2!
my god this classifies as news?
that could be exclaimed as absolutely anything!
less than you think, well how does david know how long gef is thinking?
the game could take 15 years and it still could be technically correct.
plus david, well he has certainly not helped himself on this one, i mean how many delays did heavy rain suffer?
and it was STILL! broken on release and STILL! is a month after release!
4+ years in development and they cant even get the bugs out.
the DLC sucked, thank god i did not pay for it because if i did id be demanding a refund.
i was expecting it to be a decent sized expansion like sony said it would be, not a 5 minute add on!
if sony expect me to pay for the rest of the episodes they better beef up their length because 5 minutes is pathetic!
not worth the time, not worth the money, and not even worth wasting 1GB+ of my download usage!
Got something to say?
