Just a few days ago, Bandai Namco shared a proper announcement trailer for Supermassive Games' The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope, which is the sequel to Man of Medan, revealing some details about this new story, new characters, and time period.
While we still don't know when will the game be releasin,g we do know that it will be at some point this Summer. As it turns out, the game may also be released on next-gen consoles too, as a new interview has recently revealed.
During an interview with Gamereactor Europe, head of Supermassive Games Pete Samuels has revealed that the developers have already had discussions about incorporating the PlayStation 5's DualSense into The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope.
"You mentioned the PlayStation 5 controller and its features, and we've been having some chats about that for a little while now about how we're going to use that," Samuels revealed. "The whole tactile thing - as much as we can transfer what you'd expect the character's experience to be directed back to the player, I think the better attachment you feel to the characters."
From what Samuels has shared, we can definitely tell there's some legitimate interest in the PlayStation 5's new controller, and it is nice to see developers getting excited for the upcoming console and the tools it will give them in order to enhance the player's experience.
"The voice controls that we did before were VR so it was first-person, so it made a lot of sense to actually make your choices [using your voice] because it was you in the game - in the third-person perspective it perhaps makes less sense. But we're already having some discussions [...] about some things we might do, some things that we might incorporate into the game having seen the announcement [of the DualSense]."
It really does seem like the PlayStation 5 version of The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope will be something special, but players will still have to wait until Sony's console releases this holiday season.
If Supermassive Games does end up incorporating the DualSense's features into the game, there's no doubt that it will end up being something quite special. We'll just have to wait and see.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is expected to release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC this Summer.
