I guess there is no such thing as rest for the wicked. Hot off the heels of the release of A Way Out, Hazelight head Josef Fares has announced that work on his next project had already begun.
There’s no other information to go off apart from the below, but you can guess that it isn’t going to be a MOBA, a CCG, or a battle royale game (God willing).
Today is officially the start of the next game and I'm INCREDIBLY exited!!!!!! I love making videogames and can't wait to show it!

Fares, who previously worked on the acclaimed Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, is probably going to be always known for his infamous Oscar-fucking at The Game Awards. No matter what he accomplishes in his career, that’s going to be hard to shake.
Good, I say. I don’t think he should ever tone himself down. In the massively PR-moderated gaming industry, it’s refreshing to see a maverick doing and saying whatever they damn well please. Let his next game literally be a Telltale version of attending the Oscars as Fares; I don’t care.
A Way Out has been a big success for Fares and EA Originals, going golden before release. It’s clinging on quite comfortably in the sales charts, too, which is no surprise when you consider that it might be one of the best couch co-op games you could pick up right now. From our A Way Out review:
“Even with some sloppy writing and a hackneyed story, A Way Out’s gameplay is so infectious and its heart so since that it’s almost impossible to resist. Long live couch co-op.”
