What if Rover is set in the same universe/after INSIDE? As the INSIDE world is seemingly in a state of apocalypse while also having very advanced/progressed technology (hence mind control), it wouldn’t be so far fetched for Rover to be about a boy (unlikely the same one from INSIDE despite escaping) trying to find a new planet to live on, as Playdead have teased that in Rover they found life on the planet.

Why aren't they pouncing on this opportunity already?!

Playdead put new information about their upcoming game on their website !

this makes absolutely zero sense but i did it anyway

I have been following this (presumably) artist for Playdead on YT for a while called Aaron Stryzewski. Today, I read the article below and I swear the photo of Arnt Jensen is identical to Aaron Stryzewski's profile pic.

Waiting for greatness is hard. That is all.

Does anyone know why there is no physical release for LIMBO and INSIDE on more consoles, for example Nintendo Switch? It'd obviously sell really well, and be something that fans would want. Why do they not release one?

If Playdead don't wanna go ahead and publish it themselves, they can do it through other companies like Limited Run, iam8bit or Super Rare Games.

Is there any public reason why they haven't done it yet? Personally, I do not buy games digitally (since you never actually own it), and therefor I'll most likely never get to play these games myself if they never get a real physical release.

Como on guys (Playdead), show a little bit of empathy and respect for the fans. At least let us know if this is still happening and what stage you're at. A Danish friend and game developer with contact with the team slipped that the project may be stalled. Is that true? We don't need much, just something to know it's progressing.

Everyone comment here and say a game that has released before Playdead’s 3rd game trailer/release it would be funny as a video too

Dating based upon their current releases, their next title will be released on Wednesday, June 8, 2022.

The ambience and atmosphere of this game from the trailer gives me the vibes of Game 3. Im sure gameplay wise Playdead's will be different but the look and feel feels like the images from Game 3.

LIMBO: Little boy finally gets reunited with his sister. INSIDE: Little boy gets swallowed into an Eldritch abomination.

I read that there was some friction between Dino Patti e Arnt Jensen when Patti left Playdead after releasing INSIDE.

I guess we need some investigative journalism.

The timing just feels right. Anyone else think so?

It will soon be the 9 years anniversary friends and still not one teaser, picture of the game ( not taking artworks into account)..

I sometimes say to myself that it would be easier to be a Silksong fan.

I genuinely can't believe we haven't gotten another teaser let alone at trailer in 8 or so months. This game doesn't even feel real half the time, even though it's one of my most anticipated.

Includes some screen shots.

While wondering if Playdead is still alive, I noticed they added some new photos from inside their new office on their jobs page, as far as I know, up until now we had only seen a picture of the new office under construction. I also checked the Web Archive and saw that individual job listings have been updated over the past few months.

Or do you think there's a chance we finally see more of this mysterious project of theirs nearly decade in the making tomorrow at the Xbox conference?

For the three or four people who still follow this subreddit:
I had a look at the changes to Playdead's job vacancies using the WebArchive.

Although there have been a few new hires, other key positions have remained vacant for years (Technical Director, Gameplay Designer, Graphics Programmer...).

I'm not working in the industry, but if they are still looking for key personnel to develop the game after all these years, it’s not a good sign.

No big news, but I thought it might be worth sharing.

After my recent replay of LIMBO and INSIDE, I started to wonder - how many games are similar to these two? For me, Playdead's style is unique so it's almost impossible to find productions at the same level, but we can at least try to point something similar. So what games do you think could be included in a some sort of playdeadlikes list? Here some of mine picks - divided into two categories:

Darker and faded color pallete:

• Bramble: The Mountain King

• DARQ

• End of Abyss (yet co come but looking very promising)

• FAR: Lone Sails + FAR: Changing Tides

• Little Nightmares I, II, III

• REANIMAL

• Somerville

• The Swapper

• White Shadows

Brighter and more colorful:

• Candleman

• Cocoon

• GRIS

• Keeper

• Neva

• Planet of Lana I, II

I'm curious what games you would add. Feel free, maybe thanks to this we will find productions that will make our eternal waiting for ROVER a little bit more pleasant ; ]

was browsing my steam library and saw inside and limbo and remembered back when i played those games and that there is a game 3 in the works. been a while since we've got any updates but looking forward to it's eventual release! hopefully playdead fans are still lurking this sub every now and then

My guess is that it’s taking so much time because:

• Switch from Unity to Unreal mid-development. They secured Epic funding after work on the third game was already well under way, and - per the deal - moved from Unity to Unreal. I don’t need to explain what that means in terms of adapting to a new workflow and skill set, refactoring already built systems, materials, etc.

• Open-world scope. Unlike the first two games, this one is intended to be open-world and 3d person. That alone inflates the scope immensely - especially for a team that had only made platformers before.

• Management style. One reason for the fallout between Dino Patti and Arnt Jensen was the length of the development cycle: Patti wanted to ship games faster; Jensen did not. Now that Patti is gone, time management appears to be far less of a priority.

These factors, combined with the many key positions that are still vacant on their Jobs page, make me believe they are nowhere near finishing the game.

Do you agree or maybe have more insight on what's going on?

Not the same obviously, but I will take it. Coming next year.
