It has been expanded upon since it was last shown with more to be shown and talked about it closer to launch.īack to the proposal. Dontnod has “taken this concept” that’s been seen in the likes of Sherlock and other bits of media “and put our own spin on it for Twin Mirror”. In fact, you get to revisit the moment Sam is introduced by Nick to Anna for the first time through his mind palace, introduced alongside the game’s original reveal in which he can revisit memories and reconstruct them.

Originally a three-part episodic game, it’ll now release as a fully-fledged game. One other significant change comes from within Twin Mirror itself. Now, with the support of Shenmue 3 production company Shibuya Productions and Epic Games, Dontnod is self-publishing it on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, the latter being exclusive on the Epic Games Store for a year (although Bandai Namco will help release the physical edition of the game on console).
