In recent years, one of the most recognizable faces in the industry has been that of Shawn layden. Former president of Sony Interactive Worldwide Studios, Layden left the company after 32 years of work and now works at Streamline Media, a company dedicated to advising video game developers.
During Layden’s tenure, one of the most interesting titles shown was Deep Down, PS4 exclusive. Capcom She was in charge of shaping a work that pointed to medieval fantasy, set in 2094 (yes, the date is correct) and with a free-to-play format. What is striking is that this is all we know since its announcement back in 2013.
Obviously, everything indicates that the development of the game has not been as expected and the doubts about whether we will be able to see it on our consoles someday more and more they point out that it will not happen. Still, the journalist Jason schreier has maintained a interview with Layden, asking about his view of the current market.
However, Schreier noted from your Twitter account which did not include a question in the Bloomberg post. Specifically, he asked Layden what had happened to Deep down, meeting a honest answer: “I have no idea”.
While it is not a final closure to its launch, it is clear that the situation is really complicated. The last time we heard about Deep Down was 2015 and PS4 and Xbox One were already roaming the market at ease. We will see if we receive any news, either due to its cancellation or that Capcom continues to work on it.
