After All This Time, It Has to Be Worth the Wait
The long-awaited AAA title from Quantic Dream, Detroit: Become Human, has seen coverage in three E3’s thus far. This year, they showcased a new story trailer and, once again, ended it without a release date. However, in a recent interview with GameSpot, Director David Cage confirmed the game is coming in 2018.
Obviously, the creators of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls have been taking their sweet time with this one. A release date seems overdue. Thankfully, in a completely low-key reveal, Cage said: “It’s going to be next year.”
Since Detroit: Become Human was part of Sony E3’s 2017 sizzle reel, many believed it would arrive this year. Sony’s President of World Wide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, went ahead and cleared things up, saying it was a mistake.
Detroit: Become Human will follow Quantic Dream’s trademark gameplay of dynamic player choice. With a heavy focus on story, players will decide one of many, many plot outcomes and story points in a new futuristic setting. Ultimately, the point is to let players guide the narrative like no other title. With thousands of possibilities, replayability is king. Not to mention it provides an emotional rollercoaster ride.
