Playdead, the team behind the fantastic indie titles Limbo and Inside, has dropped a few new details about its upcoming game via various job listings on its official website.
As reported by IGN, the listings state the team is working on “a 3rd-person science fiction adventure set in a remote corner of the universe”. Also, as discovered in the technical director listing, the title is being ”built for multiple platforms on Unreal Engine” and will be published by Epic Games.
Little else is known outside of a few concept art images across the listings, showcasing a space theme as a character explores a strange world. However, with a wide range of jobs up for grabs, it most likely indicates the project is in early development and may not see the light of day for a while. Still, if it’s anything like the studio’s previous work, we should be in for a treat.

Possibly my most anticipated game. The wait is hard but I believe it'll be worth it. Inside was just so good.
The director did a Danish interview at the end of 2018. I haven’t seen it translated anywhere else, but he stated back then that this game will still be similar to the others in terms of tone, but also a bit larger aka more exploring etc. Also, he had grown a bit tired of “limitations of 2D”, hence the 3D nature of the game. He also referred to the game as being “melancholic”.
I am interested to see what this studio can do with something other than a 2D platformer.
Sounds awesome! Excited for more details!
