Quantic Dream admits that this upcoming release might surprise fans, with key figures commenting, "Spellcasters Chronicles may surprise our fans as it is significantly altered from what we have produced so far. But taking risks, testing our abilities, delving into new ways of playing and telling stories, and striving for what looks out of reach has consistently been part of our core."
