Dontnod ready to take the next-gen step?
Casually, it’s been a while since the French studio Dontnod has not had the right to the spotlight. Since the December 2020 release of Twin Mirrorit’s the most total discretion, and this silence may not seem more normal when you know that the company has many projects on fire. If he did not work directly on Life is Strange : True Colorsthe title nevertheless made it possible to maintain the aura of the license and, by extension, of the French studio.
For those who appreciate the work of the studio, the year 2021 must therefore have seemed very long. Let them be reassured, the wait for news from the French company is about to be over since a message giving us an appointment tomorrow seems to sign the return of Dontnod to the front of the stage. Especially since the surprise could be big, because we know almost nothing about the studio’s upcoming productions, except that there are no less than eight.
Clues to the studio’s mysterious plans
At present, at Dontnod, we are thinking big for the years to come. The French studio was not just content to work on one or two projects, while entrusting others to external companies, far from it: in all, the studio planned the development, in-house, of six projects. The list of productions is growing since two others are outsourced, bringing the total to eight. Beyond the ambition, the studio is doing well from a financial point of view which allows it to pursue ambitious long-term growth thanks to this future portfolio of games.
A little birdie told us that if you come back here tomorrow, you’ll see some news from us and maybe even get some clues as to what we’ve been working on!

Within this long list, we find the famous “Project 8” in collaboration with the publisher of Vampirenamely Focus Entertainment. Maybe we’ll learn more about him, who has only revealed himself through a single shot so far. No time has been announced and the Dontnod site is currently under maintenance: so expect a real surprise reveal !
