The Unfinished Swan Developer Teases New Project
Still in its early stages, but development has begun.
The Unfinished Swan developer Giant Sparrow has revealed details on its next project. Simply titled "Unannounced Giant Sparrow Project", the studio says that there's no release date or platforms announced and that it's "still kind of a secret."
Featuring a black mirror, the company's website page is titled 'Edith Finch' - which happens to also be the name of the piece of revealed artwork. Giant Sparrow did reveal that the project is not a sequel to The Unfinished Swan, but "it's not a million miles away either. If you like surreal experiences and games that aren't much like anything you've ever played before then you'll probably like it."
The reveal is part of a greater plan to generate more hype for the game as development progresses. "When you make games about evoking a sense of discovery and wonder the publicity part of it is a little tricky," the site's blog reads. "If we don’t say anything then no one knows the game exists, but if we talk about it too much then no one is going to be surprised when they actually play it.
"That’s why for our next game we’re going to start talking about it early but in broad strokes. Our last game took us a little over 3 years to make so as you can imagine we’re still in a very early phase on this new one."
We can't wait. The Unfinished Swan was a fantastic artsy game, and with the studio reportedly signing a three-game deal with Sony, it's likely that we'll be playing this new game on a Sony platform of some kind when it does get released.
