Quantic Dream Pushed to 2010 by “crowded” Christmas
Quantic Dream co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumiere has told GI.biz that Heavy Rain will not see it’s originally planned late 2009 release to give it “space to live” away from the hectic Christmas period and instead will launch in 2010.
“Purely from my perspective, most publishers today realise that it’s not ideal to release a new IP or a new genre just before Christmas,†he said.
“It’s a very crowded place to be, and certain games need more space to live their life. Everybody at working on the project, both at Quantic and Sony, believe this is the right time.â€
Heavy Rain will be on show at Gamescom in Cologne next month, so expect more information around that time.
