Upcoming Projects
After the success of Heavy Rain, critics became curious as to what Quantic Dream plans to release in the future. Although DLC has been released for Heavy Rain, David Cage stated that he does not plan to release a Heavy Rain 2, saying that all he would be doing is "milking the franchise". On June 1, 2010, rumors speculated that Quantic Dream was starting to cast for a new science-fiction game entitled "Horizon". Cage confirmed that these rumors are not true. Quantic Dream is working on two new projects for the future. Cage confirmed that the next project will focus on emotions, not serial killers. Quantic Dream also considered making a game based on war.
"I don't know where this information comes from but there is no project called Horizon featuring a couple in a science-fiction world currently in development at Quantic Dream," studio head David Cage confirmed to Eurogamer. "Though if the script is available it sounds like a good idea." "I hope this will inspire people – it should! I want competition in this field. I don't want to be alone on my flagship shouting, 'Hey! Emotional storytelling!' There should be more games trying this. But very few developers have the luxury of having a great publisher trusting them. We did an indie game with the financial support of a Triple A title. I don't see Heavy Rain as an achievement, I see it as a first step. I know we can do much better, we can go further. I know there are many people out there to convince. I mean, look at how many people played Heavy Rain in comparison to Call of Duty – we want as many players as that. And even that is nothing – look at how many people watched Avatar. That is where we want to go."
As of March 2011, news suggest that one of Quantic Dream's next projects will be called Fiv5. On August 4, 2011, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe filed a trademark for Infraworld, which was a project once in development at Quantic Dream, but was cancelled during the early stages of development. An easter egg inside of Heavy Rain showed a poster for Infraworld with Quantic Dream's logo at the bottom of the poster, which hints that Infraworld may be back in development and could be one of Quantic Dream's future projects.
On March 7, 2012, Quantic Dream released a short film entitled "Kara", displaying their new game engine that uses new motion capture technology running on a PlayStation 3. The short, displayed in real time, revolves around a newly constructed Android named Kara (played by Valorie Curry) who presents a dilemma to her operator after discovering the ability to think. Director David Cage revealed the short was made over a year ago when the engine was in its early build. The developer's untitled engine is still in development and its features have been increased by 50 percent.
On June 4, 2012, at E3 Quantic Dream announced a new game called Beyond: Two Souls. It will be released in Q1 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
