It seems like Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream are already working on the next endeavor after Beyond: Two Souls, intended for the next-gen PlayStation 4.
Quantic Dream has registered the domain name for SingularityPS4.com. Following a similar move, the studio has done in the past, as they registered the domain names of both heavyrainPS3.com and beyondPS3.com. This indicates that Quantic Dream is indeed prepping a new title for PS4 called Singularity.
Interestingly, going back to Kara tech demo that was shown at GDC last year, Quantic Dream’s lead David Cage said he was inspired by Ray Kurzweil‘s book The Singularity is Near. This suggests that the android Kara could be the subject of the new title in the works. Watch Kara tech demo below:
