Playdead’s next game more ‘crazy than Limbo’

Playdead’s next game will be more crazy than their critically acclaimed multi-platform title Limbo.

During GameCity6 Dino Patti, the developer’s CEO, told Eurogamer on their upcoming project:

I’m really proud of it already. I know the art is not fully there yet, but for me it’s the perfect project two for our company, because it’s similar in many ways, but so different.

The next project is more crazy than Limbo, if you say that’s crazy. It’s more weird in many ways. We just want the team to be happy about it. Also, our production time is long, so we don’t want to tire people out. I hate when the big publishers show something one or two years before the launch.

The IO guys, who are also Danish, had an AR game until E3, and at E3 they announced the project. Hitman 5! Everyone knew it. They said, it’ll be out in 2012. I’m not really waiting for that one because I want to have an announcement one month before, two weeks before or something. That’s an ordinary person’s attention span.

We’ll probably talk about [project two] a bit before [it's out]. We still haven’t decided when we’ll talk about it.

Additionally, Patti concluded with:

Limbo sold really well, but if we’d done a multiplatform launch the first time it would be even bigger. That’s our goal. I can’t promise anything… We are aiming to go as wide as possible.

Limbo was a Xbox Live exclusive until it launched on Steam and the PlayStation Network in August.
