Quantic Dream Is Going To Self Publish Its Titles Moving Forward

February 13, 2020 Ryan Engstrom

After 23 years as a studio, Quantic Dream is taking the steps to begin self-publishing its own titles. Throughout its history, Quantic Dream has relied on publishers to get its games released having worked with Atari and most recently Sony in the past. Quantic Dream began experimenting with self-publishing last year when it began releasing all of its former PlayStation exclusive titles Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human on PC.

And so, for the first time in 23 years of working with prestigious publishers, we are now in a position to self-publish. This new venture will allow us to make decisions in total independence, and to address the technological and strategic opportunities of next-generation platforms. It will also allow us to help other developers, by providing investment and development support, so that they can fully express their talents. We want to support creators of original projects and help them, in turn, to achieve their vision and offer quality, ground-breaking experiences. This is more than an evolution — it is a transformation. We are doing this to preserve our freedom and our independence, to continue working on innovative and even more ambitious projects, to address greater challenges, and to create the unexpected. Quantic Dream will never be just another studio. We want to face new horizons, to keep our passion alive, and keep trusting in the idea of making games that are different.

Quantic Dream titles have always been a thrill to play ever since I discovered the studio with Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy. It is awesome to see that the studio has been able to find such massive success despite their titles being extremely niche! It will be fun to see where Quantic Dream moves on from here and what their next story will entail.
