The Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee has rated INTERIOR/NIGHT-developed narrative adventure game As Dusk Falls for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 under the publishing of PQube.

As Dusk Falls originally launched for Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store under the publishing of Xbox Game Studios.

A PC version was also rated under PQube. Though this likely means PQube will only distribute a PC version in Taiwan, considering the PC version is already available and published by Xbox Game Studios.

As Dusk Falls rated for PS5, PS4 in Taiwan

Hm, considering that it is being published by PQube, I wonder if the situation is similar to Death Stranding.

 

[Punished Miku]

Highly recommended. I'd love a season 2.

One of the best art styles in any game I've seen. Great story, music, acting.

 

[scarlet0pimp]

Really enjoyed this game it was really good.

 

[Mr Moose]

Weird, I thought this was a Xbox "exclusive", didn't know it was timed.

 

[Barlow]

Guess it's a Ori situation again

 

[GHound]

I'm good. From everything I've seen Xbox can keep it.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Graphics looks similar to the movie "A scanner darkly". At least from that picture.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Really weird situation. This is a Xbox Game Studios' game but also a timed console exclusive?

 

[Astray]

Likely an attempt to test the waters with a low-risk title before deciding whether to go all in or not.

I expect things like Ori (already got a Switch version) to be tried out next.

 

[ManaByte]

Great game. Need chapter 2.

 

[tommib]

Looks great. Getting it on day one. It’s one of the exclusives that I wanted to play on my PS5 after Scorn and High on Life coming through. Waiting for Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush next.

 

[jm89]

One step at a time.

 

[ManaByte]

Waiting for Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush next.

Those are made by MS owned studios.

 

[Astray]

Seen this floating around, any idea if it's real?

People on Twitter are idiots. It's not a MS IP anymore than Ori was. Interior Night is an indie dev of like 40 people (mostly former Quantic Dream) and MS published their first game like they did with Ori/Moon Studios.

Shinobi’s had insider information before though and the real source is his post on Era

Timed exclusives ending? I'm shocked.

 

[graywolf323]

Timed exclusives ending? I'm shocked. Maybe he should go remind his toddler how racist he is.

this was never suggested to be a timed exclusive before though and it’s not like Ori because Ori has NEVER come to PlayStation (it only ever went to Switch) when has a Xbox Game Studios publisher game later released on PlayStation?

Edit: I mean PlayStation now owns Sunset Overdrive but even that never got a port

I think a better comparison would be Cuphead.
But the difference here is that MS owns this IP, same as with Ori, but Ori won't be on PlayStation unless MS wants it to be.

It's obvious that Interior Night owns the IP, which is why PQube is able to publish it. So the Twitter idiot is an idiot.

MS doesn't own the IP as PQube is publishing it in Taiwan and not them.

different there though is Cuphead was self-published by Studio MDHR even on Xbox, it was a timed exclusive but XGS didn’t publish it

PQube is listed as the publisher, not XGS.

Microsoft is listed as the publisher on the Switch version of Ori, if they were publishing this on PS4/5, they would be listed as the publisher.

I didn't know they were former QD devs. I really liked this game, I enjoyed it more than QD's latest.

 

[ManaByte]

Had zero interest in it based on the trailers. Tried it and couldn't put it down until I finished it.

It sets up a second chapter, so hopefully they get the money to continue it.

 

[StueyDuck]

If this was like halo/gears/forza then sure "it's over" but this game definitely doesn't spark the end of xbox as a console.

MLB is a much bigger game that is made by a Sony first party, sometimes weird oddities happen.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Always meant to play this but didn't get chance due to backlog. Heard its good.

Microsoft does owns the IP though.

I was mainly asking about the Shinobi screenshot, did he actually say that.

 

[ManaByte]

Microsoft does owns the IP though.

Proof? Everything says they just published it. Interior Night developed it as an indie (again, only about 40 people) and MS published it.

If MS owns the IP, it'd be like Forza Horizon 3 (before Playground got acquired) released to Playstation; it was MS first party (or second party, whatever). Don't care about As Dusk Falls, but I will buy Ori (hopefully).

Yeah he did.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

the thirst for drama is real. but it works as some kind of marketing.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I've maintained that Starfield will ultimately come to PS5 in 1-2 years, but As Dusk Falls hardly seems like confirmation that Xbox is going 3rd party.

Don't get too excited....or angry.

This is the trademark application for the game and it clearly states that Microsoft own that.

Not a lawyer so don't know for sure if this means that they own the IP outright or not though.

Like I said, it's a low-risk way of testing things and seeing how much traction it gets in the PS community without risking any of the family jewels.

If Microsoft ever do go 3P, things like Halo or Gears won't ever be what comes first.

 

[adamsapple]

Anyway, it's a decent choice based Telltale/Detroit style visual novel. I remember the sound track being good from last year.

If it's their game they'd own the trademark

Then I guess MS is going to win a lot of money from PQube for illegally publishing their game in Taiwan then.

Or they're just oursourcing publishing like Sony did for Death Stranding

Ori is a MS IP though. That's why it's not on PS. Not sure where you're going with this.

Enjoyed the experience. Glad more people will get to play!

 

[Terenty]

Great game, imho the best out of the narrative branching adventures like The Walking Dead, Detroid, Untill Dawn.

Highly recommended
