After a disastrous attempt to bring to life the Eternal Darkness spiritual successor Shadow of the Eternals, Denis Dyack and Co. have returned with an update on the status of the game in the debut episode of the new Quantum Tunnel podcast. Dyack’s new studio, Quantum Entanglement Entertainment, will be handling its revival, which they hope to transform into a multimedia property that will span video games, film and TV.

Before any of that can happen, they’ll need to finish the game. Dyack confirmed in a recent post on the studio’s Facebook page that it’s still on the way, saying “Yes it’s still coming! We always appreciate people wanting the game but also know that it’s a frustrating wait – and you guys are awesome for sticking around with us!”

“The kickstarter failed so we had to go a different direction and start a new business with a new business model, these things take time but we’re able to do a lot more with the new company and have a lot more options. We obviously had a less than pleasant experience with some unethical press during the kickstarter so we’re making sure we have all our ducks in a row before we talk much more about SOTE, but it IS coming. We’re recording a video podcast tonight which will be released in the next day or so where we’ll talk a little more about it.”

You can find the debut episode of the Quantum Tunnel podcast he’s referring to below.

Shadow of the Eternals was originally supposed to be an episodic game set in Louisiana, and comprised of twelve 2-4 hour-long episodes that would release in a manner similar to a television show. The story followed Paul Becker, a detective tasked with investigating a brutal massacre between rival cults and their connection to the “Eternals”. That might’ve changed since we last heard from the game, or maybe not. Stay tuned!
