The Order Dev To Make An Announcement Next Week
The Order: 1886 was one of the biggest letdowns last year. When the dust settled, the final Metacritic average on Ready at Dawn’s PS4 exclusive landed at 63. It was declared an undeniable failure.
Clearly Ready at Dawn has already moved past it and is ready to announce a new project soon, real soon.
Several months ago, it was reported Ready at Dawn was hiring and working on multiple projects. Founder & Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Andrea Pessino said that the company just needs to produce a better game than The Order: 1886 now, and they will.
Just in time for E3, it appears like one of those projects is ready to be revealed. Recently GameStop’s brand new publishing division “GameTrust” recruited studios Ready at Dawn, Frozenbyte, Insomniac and Tequila Works.
Insomniac’s Song of the Deep will be the first game to be released under GameTrust, being scheduled to become available on July 12 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Yesterday, GameStop’s COO Tony Bartel said during the Q1 2016 earnings call:
“Next week, we will be announcing our second game under development, with Ready at Dawn.”
It appears this announcement will arrive before E3 but we anticipate we’ll see extended gameplay during the conference. Unfortunately, we don’t know much more than this as Ready at Dawn is keeping a tight lid on things. However, some details can be gleaned from the job listings:
“We are in the pre-production phase of an exciting new AAA third-person action console title, based on a brand new original IP we are creating. In addition, we are also in full production on a cutting edge VR experience, in partnership with Oculus. Our team is growing, so come join one of the preeminent independent video-game developers in the world.”
It is clear this game won’t only be on the PS4 this time around and we look forward to providing you with more information as it becomes available.
