Journey Dev Looking at Tablets, PC for Next Game

It’s not easy to follow a game like Journey. After winning various Game of the Year awards (including IGN’s), thatgamecompany co-founder Jenova Chen is feeling the pressure of debuting a successful follow-up. In an interview with IGN from the DICE summit in Vegas last week, Chen discussed his next game, the decision to bring it to multiple platforms, and where he thinks the industry is headed.

“It has to be better. I can’t just let people down,” Chen told IGN about his next game. “Even just before coming to DICE, I was like ‘this is not going to top Journey.’ But I can’t see a game that’s more epic than the journey of a lifetime, right? From living to dying. How can you do something to top that? That’s tremendous pressure. I’m trying to stay away, trying not to directly compete with Journey in my next game. That’s what I’m working on right now.”
