Dontnod Entertainment, a French studio known worldwide for the success of Life is Strange, has had more difficulty in recent times to make its video games work commercially. It is the case of Twin Mirrorof which we have now learned that it has only managed to recover 75% of its production cost, which makes it a resounding failure for the company based in Paris and that for some months has had a strong investment by Tencent, which has become a minority shareholder of the firm. In fact, Dontnod does not expect the narrative adventure Twin Mirror to recover from this situation and is clear about the reasons why it will not.
As the GamingBolt portal explains, Dontnod Entertainment knows two factors for which the situation of Twin Mirror is practically irreversible. The first of these is what they consider a “globally saturated market by the end of 2021”, which has made it impossible for Twin Mirror, which landed at the end of 2020, to reach more people. The second reason is the “sudden closure of the Chinese market”, which has closed doors to the game. Dontnod believes that, in the medium term, Twin Mirror will not be able to reverse the situation and serve, at least, so that they can recover the production costs of a game that has fallen far short of expectations.
