Quantic Dream Bringing ‘Heavy Rain’, ‘Beyond: Two Souls’, ‘Detroit: Become Human’ to Epic Games Store
Epic continue to ramp up their exclusivity catalogue to take on Steam. Quantic Dream is the latest to jump aboard, with PC ports of three of their games: 2010’s Heavy Rain, 2013’s Beyond: Two Souls, and the more recent Detroit: Become Human.
All three cinematic games will launch exclusively on the Epic Games Store later this year, with Sony still holding onto the rights for the games.
In Heavy Rain, you play as four different characters over the course of four days as you hunt for a murderer known only as “The Origami Killer”. Each choice you make with each character may result in altering the story.
In Beyond: Two Souls, you play as Jodie Holmes. Born with a connection to a mysterious entity with incredible powers,
your actions will determine Jodie’s fate as she faces extraordinary challenges, danger, and heart-wrenching loss on a journey to discover the truth of who she is.
In Detroit: Become Human, technology has evolved to a point where human-like androids are everywhere. Play as three distinct androids and see a world at the brink of chaos through their eyes. Your very decisions will dramatically alter how the game’s branching narrative plays out.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
