Quantic Dream, known for narrative-driven single-player games like Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human, is venturing into multiplayer gaming with the announcement of Spellcasters Chronicles. This free-to-play 3v3 competitive action strategy game marks a significant shift for the studio, which plans to maintain its roots in single-player projects, including the anticipated Star Wars Eclipse. The game will emphasize team-based gameplay in matches lasting 25 minutes, where players, referred to as Spellcasters, will embody unique mages battling through spells and summoned creatures. Players can look forward to a closed beta on Steam by the end of 2023, as the developer invites community feedback to shape this new direction.
