Dontnod Entertainment is slowly becoming the new Telltale Games in the adventure genre. Just like Telltale Games, most of Dontnod’s games are adventure, with a heavy focus on storytelling. Some may call these games “walking simulators”, but the truth is that a large majority of gamers really enjoy these kind of games.
Dontnod’s first game was a bit different however. Remember Me was an action-adventure featuring platforming, exploration and melee combat. Though their second game, Life is Strange, was almost identical to Telltale’s games such as The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and Game of Thrones.
Life is Strange sold more than three million copies, and quickly became one of the top story-telling adventure titles. After that, most of their games are within the same genre, except of course the not so great Vampyr.
According to the CEO, Oskar Guilbert, the company is now working on six separate games. The closest release is Twin Mirror, which is set to launch on December 1st. Furthermore, Dontnod is adding a new studio in Montreal, in order for the company to do more narrative games at once.

Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!

I smell “quality”.
Good News, more sh*t games for sh*t people, what are you asking for?!!!
I didn’t know people hated Dontnod. While I never had interest in Life is Strange, I finished Remember me and Vampyr and they are pretty good, imho. The one negative of Remember me is one problem that I had related to Physx and in Vampyr the performance related to draw distance. Also didn’t notice any politics leaning on them ( maybe I don’t know all of them, but still). I Recommend give a chance to these two tittles at least, if possible. Cheers.
Yep, spent lots of hours on Vampyr and loved it overall. I was surprised it had regular gameplay as a Dontnod game until i found out Remember Me was made by them as well.
They can make decent games when they put politics aside.
guess what? The hate started with life is strange and it only accelerated from there, vampyr sold well, the rest not so much, everyone bought vampyr and now thy make more cringe narrative games.
remember me was nice visually but the gameplay was trash. Also life is cringe is sjw dude. Nick for president.
I’m sure they are all equally rtarded!
“games”
sure.

I really love these kind of games although I really didn’t like Life is strange. Vampyr on the side was a really great game. It just had a bad performance, but very likely my old CPU (i7 3770k) was just too weak
Can’t wait to play 6 stunning and brave games.
Nice, 6 more gaymes so we can see the real power of the black trans helicopter mother of 2.
vampyr was good, people bought it, this is how they made money to do this.
HOW ABOUT, you make vampyr 2 said in a different era and make it a bigger game instead of having 6 games in development instead?
even worse they are american centric copy pasted nonsense, that part in life is cringe 2 about the wall was ridiculous. Its like what a french soyboy would write if he read enough vice.
i am sure all of their games, that dont sell, while vampyr did…are going to sell and wont end up like telltale is am sure of it.
Not so great Vampyr? Huh?
“The developers of Life is Strange have six games in production”…and don’t worry guys,all of those game will contain lesbz…also strong and independent female…and superpower…
Great news! Big fan of Life is Strange series! The story is awesome! Well written characters! Both games does not force you to become this or that.Just yourself.You guys are missing out great titles! Can’t speak for other of their games.But Life is Strange is superb! The first and Before the Storm especially!
Hope they don’t go bankrupt like Telltale did when they developed too many games at once.
Life is Strange is love or hate and i like it almost to the point of love. Don´t know about their other games and don´t feel like “six games! wow, it will be great”.
But i think that they are shooting in multiple directions, trying to hit something. So, it can be good, i cheer for them and i hope that they can bring maybe a couple of great games inside that basket.
Another one i want to hear news about them is Asobo, as i really enjoyed Plague Tale. And more than any other, i want to hear good news about HareBrained Schemes, since Shadowrun franchise is one of the almost perfect things i saw in games.
