These days, third-party exclusives are becoming rare. While Sony came out with a series of them early in PS3’s lifecycle — think Heavenly Sword, Lair, Haze and Resistance: Fall of Man — the company more often than not has to rely on the studios it owns outright to create PlayStation-only content. Twelve such studios exist, from Naughty Dog and Media Molecule to Polyphony Digital and Guerrilla Games, but Sony has also found an interesting source of even more exclusives from the independent French studio Quantic Dream.
Quantic Dream released its first PlayStation exclusive in 2010 in the form of Heavy Rain, and its upcoming PS3 swan song, Beyond: Two Souls, is due out this October (we recently played it, if you’re interested in learning more). The studio also recently confirmed that it’s working on its first PlayStation 4 game after rumors began to circulate that the game is called Singularity.
