Remedy Entertainment just revealed their financial results for the fiscal year of 2016. Â While most of us surely don’t care about how much revenues they’ve made or year over year growth, tucked away inside this investor information was a glimpse at what the future holds for the developer of titles like Alan Wake, Max Pain, and more recently, Quantum Break.
Apparently Remedy has a new game in the works that they’re codenaming “P7.” Â The financial report didn’t detail what this game was, but it did reveal that Remedy’s strategy with this next game would be to release the game on a wider variety of platforms, naming the PlayStation 4.
Northlight, Remedy’s proprietary engine and the power behind Quantum Break is being developed for use on the PlayStation 4 according to the announcement.
While the last decade has seen Remedy titles launch exclusively on Xbox and PC, it looks like they’ll be going fully multi-platform with “P7.” Â The press release did not detail, however, whether or not they’d be targeting the Nintendo Switch as well.
So when can we expect “P7,” Â no further details were given but Remedy has been known to make a very specific type of game in recent years with both Alan Wake and Quantum Break being very similar in terms of both gameplay and storytelling devices.
This should be considered a big get for PlayStation 4 owners as both Alan Wake and Quantum Break were great games. Â Unfortunately it looks like Microsoft can’t tie down any of the studios who’ve pushed out big exclusives for the Xbox One. Â Remedy Entertainment, Respawn, Insomniac, and Crystal Dynamics have all released Xbox exclusives only to later move on to projects on that involve releasing on the PlayStation 4.
