In fact, it has now been confirmed that despite the acquisition the studio will operate independently and will continue to be run by David Cage and Guillaume de Fondaumi\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<p>In its day, the participation made three years ago in Quantic Dream allowed it to diversify into games for more platforms beyond making PlayStation exclusives.  Now, under the full ownership of NetEase, the developer becomes the <strong>first study of the Chinese giant in Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<article-box href=\"https:\/\/alfabetajuega.com\/multiplataforma\/quantic-dream-estaria-desarrollando-otro-triple-a-aparte-de-star-wars-eclipse-un-titulo-de-fantasia-medieval?ref=https:\/\/alfabetajuega.com\/multiplataforma\/netease-compra-quantic-dream-estudio-responsable-de-detroit-become-human\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"article-box\">Quantic Dream would be developing another Triple A apart from Star Wars Eclipse: a medieval fantasy title<\/article-box>\n<p>While Detroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain, and Beyond: Two Souls have been the studio&#8217;s last well-known games, it is currently working on Star Wars: Eclipse, although everything points to its release being years away.

The studio sued the publications behind these rumors for defamation;  last year, he won one case but lost another.  In fact, co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumi\u00e8re mentioned: &#8220;<em>Everyone familiar with Quantic Dream, its management and our team knows exactly what to make of these allegations.<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>As a shareholder who had already audited our study at the end of 2018, who had evaluated all the material elements and had followed all the results of the litigation, <strong>NetEase had a very clear vision and could easily assess the absence of any material basis for these claims.<\/strong>.  Therefore, they had no impact on our discussions<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>After the acquisition, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Quantic Dream.
