“Also when you get somebody like Tom Cruise, that becomes what could be a budget of an entire game just on him. So that becomes a bit of an issue,” he explained. It’s mostly about the number of days we have them for, because it’s very expensive, and shooting this takes a long time. Will Byles (center) is working on a new horror project.Įvidence of the studio’s growing stature could be seen in this year’s The Quarry, which featured a Hollywood cast including David Arquette (Scream), Ariel Winter (Modern Family), Justice Smith (Jurassic World), Brenda Song (Dollface), Lance Henriksen (Aliens) and Lin Shaye (A Nightmare on Elm Street).īyles indicated that the company was continuing to be ambitious in its pursuit of acting talent, and said he believed it wouldn’t be long before the very biggest Hollywood actors lead video game casts.

Supermassive was recently fully acquired by Danish entertainment company Nordisk, and claimed that the sale will give it more ammunition with which to create its projects. “No, it certainly won’t be the seven years it took between Until Dawn,” he said. What we’re looking at now, and I can’t tell you exactly what it is, is a bit of a diversion away from that sort of standard, but it’s still very much classic horror.”Īsked if fans will have to wait the seven years that passed between Until Dawn and The Quarry to play the game, Byles indicated he was planning on a much shorter turnaround of about four years. “The Dark Pictures explores hundreds of variants of the horror genre.

He added: “Potentially we might be a little bit like… I don’t know how far we can stretch the teen horror thing out further, because especially when we try to stir it up, the number of surprises you can add to that becomes limited. It’s equivalent in size to The Quarry… and that’s about as much as I can say without giving too much away.” Again, it’s the same sort of horror genre, we’re sticking to that. “I can’t really tell you very much at all about it, but we have started. Specifically discussing his next project, Byles said it would be equivalent in size to this year’s The Quarry – which was published by 2K – and suggested it could deviate from the teen horror explored in his last two releases. “It annoys some people, because they get bored with it, but I really like the fact you can go in-depth with the characters and explore relationships in a way that’s harder on a shorter story.” “I do like the luxury of being able to really explore characters and you get that with a longer story,” he explained.
