Quantic Dream has been a Sony exclusive developer for a few years now, with their latest Heavy Rain selling millions to become one of the most sought-after and innovative games of this generation. Given their exclusivity deal, it only makes sense for Sony to aquire the independent development studio in order to legitimize their “Only on PlayStation” brand.

Quantic Dream is actually working on a different IP than Heavy Rain right now. In a recent interview with Develop-Online, David Cage, founder of the company has said that they are making:

 “something exciting, something different. Hopefully it will build on the foundations of Heavy Rain, but go forward in a very, very, different way.” 

He also mentioned that if Sony decides that they would like to acquire the development studio, that he would welcome the chance to be part of the PlayStation family. He (and his company) has a great working relationship with Sony and has placed their loyalty to the PlayStation Brand.

  “Of course I would. Of course. I really like Sony, honestly I do. They’ve made some bets with developers like Fumito Ueda and Media Molecule. I kind of feel loyal to them.” 

Given Sony’s recent acquisitions of developers Sucker Punch and Media Molecule, wouldn’t it be a big coup for the company to add Quantic Dream to their stable of AAA talent development studios?
