In a recent interview with UK newspaper ‘The Telegraph’, ThatGameCompany has given the biggest hint yet as to what it is working on for its next title, eagerly awaited for by gamers after the success of its three previous titles, Flow, Flower and Journey on the PlayStation 3.
President of ThatGameCompany, Jenova Chen said that the project is still in “pre-, pre-production mode” but also stated that: “The next game after Journey is like, OK, we’ve done it with strangers on the internet, can this also happen among people who know each other. It’s a natural evolution of everything we are doing.”
Jenova Chen then continued to hint at the companies next game whilst also reminiscing about the previous titles which have been released:
“We’ve made three games and have completed the contract. So from this point on, we’ve raised venture capital because we wanted to own IP and put it on any platform we want,” he said in the interview. While Chen didn’t discuss any specifics surrounding the studio’s next game, he said, like all previous works, it would have broad appeal. Cloud and Flower are very much egocentric about my own expression, Flow is more utilitarian, and Journey is more about collaboration between various creative voices in the team. Our next game is going to be something that will relate to a wide audience on a human level. It is very exciting to see my own maturing and the team’s maturing, and I’m curious to see what this next game could be.”
