Sometimes new exclusive Xbox titles aren't developed by companies that are part of Xbox Game Studios. That's the case with As Dusk Falls, a new IP revealed during the 2020 Xbox Games Showcase for upcoming Xbox Series X titles.
What is As Dusk Falls?
As Dusk Falls is a new IP being developed by Interior/Night and published by Xbox Game Studios. It's described as being an "Interactive Drama" and is probably similar to past games from Quantic Dream and Supermassive, such as Heavy Rain and Until Dawn.
The game is presented in a style reminiscent of graphic novels, using a mixture of 2D and 3D technology. It starts off in 1999 in Arizona, where a robbery goes wrong and causes two families to collide. The game then follows these characters over the next 30 years.
