Starbreeze Studios' Johan Kristiansson: "working with EA"

Games Industry writes:

Although Starbreeze Studios saw modest success with The Outforce, Enclave and Knights of the Temple, it was 2004's Xbox exclusive The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay that put the developer on the global map. Highly-praised for story-telling, inspiring use of a movie license and its technical accomplishments, the game laid foundations for the developer's follow-up, the equally seedy The Darkness.

The Swedish developer is currently working on two titles - Project RedLime, an under-wraps title based on classic IP from publisher Electronic Arts, and The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, a remake and reimagining of Escape from Butcher Bay, with added content.

In this exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz, CEO of Starbreeze Johan Kristiansson discusses the forthcoming projects, why the developer is happy to work on other people's IP, the challenges of remaining independent, and working with Electronic Arts...

Telltale shares new images from The Wolf Among Us 2, release 2024

Oh hell yeah! I feel like this was one hell of an underrated game, and I'm glad to see that a part 2 is coming.

This was my favorite Telltale game. I’m definitely going to play this. Hopefully it has less jank than the Telltale games had. I didn’t think it would happen but I’m happy it’s coming

right? it was sooo good, cant wait for part 2

Great, loved the first game and happy a sequel is coming but after such a lengthy development, are Telltale gonna be releasing it episodic with non specific time delays between episodes? If it is episodic, they need to have a full set of dates laid out for every episode so we know what we are getting & when like Resident Evil Revelations 2 did, buying episode 1 and not knowing when the rest will come is just unacceptable in 2024.

I always loved Telltale games. They were like those old choose your own adventures books.
