Silicon Knights’ psychological horror game Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem was one of the bright spots in the GameCube library, so Nintendo’s new refiling of the Eternal Darkness trademark warrants at least a modicum of excitement. Or does it? More »
Ah, Eternal Darkness. Never really got into it myself, but I can still see why people dig it, and I appreciate that. There weren’t many games like it last generation, and there definitely weren’t many games like it on the GameCube. So what do Silicon Knights think about returning to the series, should they ever actually get the Too Human “trilogy” out the door? Surprisingly, SK boss Dennis Dyack sounds keen as beans: There is a chance; we love all the games we work on. We don’t want to be pigeon-holed [into a genre] , we want to be known for strong content…There’s a strong chance we’ll return to it, but there’s no announcements yet.
No, no announcements, but the intent’s there, and that’s good enough for today. Thanks.
Too Human and Eternal Darkness developer Silicon Knights got a little walking around money from the Video Game Prototype Initiative for an unannounced title. Numbers-wise, it’s a cool half-million Canadian bucks that will go toward a multi-platform title scheduled for 2010. The game, which wasn’t discussed by name, seems to be the third project in development at the studio, with Too Human (hopefully) wrapping up soon and a Sega-published product already over three years in development.
The mystery “third-person action/psychological thriller” may very well be published by Sega, however, as SK prez Denis Dyack has said the relationship with the label is a “long term opportunity.” We trust that Denis knows exactly what a long term opportunity is and look forward to learning more about Eternal Darkness II. Oops, I mean, whatever “Project Number 3″ is going to be.
