The Best Story-Forward Video Games Coming Out in April 🎮
Featuring more than a few franchise-worthy titles!
Hello again!
I was planning on doing one video game post per quarter, but there are SO many good titles coming out in April - it looks like I‘m going to need to break this roundup into multiple posts!
If you’re looking for fun, innovate projects that already have fans, the world of video games is the place to be. Everything on this list is something that either has an engaging story, is good food for an actor/actress, and/or has franchise potential (imho).
And movement is starting to pick up in this space - CLAIR OBSCURE: EXPEDITION 33 is already in development with Story Kitchen. So make sure your team is ahead of the curve on the next big trends in IP!
I do like to warn people before we dive in here, these rights can be a little nebulous up front. That’s because video game creators like talking to you, not me! If you have a vision for a game and know what you can do to get there, these teams are much more responsive. Please feel free to reach out to me if you’re having trouble getting a conversation started. ⭐️
Here are some of my favorites from this batch:
A game that looks like an OVERWATCH-type on the surface, but has HOME ALONE meets Illumination potential
A southern gothic with unforgettable characters and
marketablethrilling monstersA mystery in the vein of KNIVES OUT
As always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Best,
