The team behind Kentucky Route Zero is working on a new project. We don’t know what it is yet, but it looks like once again, there’s a dog in it.
In today’s Annapurna Interactive showcase, studio Cardboard Computer teased its upcoming project, which does not yet have an official title, date, or platforms attached. We did get some glimpses of them working on development, specifically on a model of a dog that’s significantly goofier than the one in Kentucky Route Zero, but that’s about it.
The team did drop some teases. They suggested during the showcase tha thtis new project would have a “different tempo” than Kentucky Route Zero, one that’s “faster” and “hopefully funnier.” They also said that this is the first project where Cardboard Computer is “really focusing on performance as a core part of the piece,” though given the studio’s past history it’s a bit unclear as to whether they mean visual performance, voice acting performance, or literal performance art. Kentucky Route Zero, after all, was structured as a five-act play, so any of these are possible.
We might have to wait a bit to find out exactly what the Kentucky Route Zero folks are up to – after all, their first game took them around ten years to complete and was released in multiple episodic installments over that time.
