Since 2010, players who have wanted to experience Quantic Dream's unique brand of branching interactive storytelling have had to do so through PlayStation hardware. But now that the company has accepted investment from Chinese gaming giant NetEase, it says it is looking to develop for other platforms.
'We will continue to work on PlayStation, which is a platform we love and that we know very well,' Quantic Dream co-founder and CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière said in an interview with Venturebeat.
