Playdead’s Follow-Up To “Limbo” Set For Space

Published

on

So, Playdead (you know, the folks behind Inside and Limbo) have been working on a successor for some time now. Apart from this tweet from last year, nothing more is known about the project. Of course, you know what comes next.

In an interview with Danish website computerworld.dk, Playdead founder and director Arnt Jensen reveals that the studio’s next game is “a fairly lonely sci-fi game [set] somewhere in the universe”. This of course matches up with the concept art found in last year’s tweet.

Elsewhere in the interview, Jensen reveals the reason as to why it took so long for Playdead to release Inside after the success of Limbo. Chalk it up to the atmosphere at the studio, which employs around 40 people, and is akin to Valve’s “when it’s done” attitude. “We try to keep production fresh all the time by having new ideas,” says Jensen. Playdead producer Mads Wibroe also points out “There is no one who says: ‘It’s a shame that your game is not done, but it has to be released now.’”

The current idea for the as-yet-unnamed project is to have a demo to be shared internally at the start of next year. As to when anyone else will see it, that’s up to Playdead.
