We will work on SOMA related stuff to the very end. For instance some people are doing scripting tutorials, others testing and so forth. And when SOMA is out we need some rest, and worst wave of support is over, there will be rest Smile

Just want to make it clear we have never made any announcement of a companion film, and that one should take any info on the net with a grain of salt Wink

Will you be taking a break after bug-fixing post release?
edit: nvm you answered

Earlier in the year I asked if the PS4 version will have mod support, and you said "most likely not". With the game's release less than a week away, is your answer now "definitely not" or is there still a glimmer of hope for the console peasants? Cool

Yeah, afraid that will be a "no". Would be really cool, but not sure how to make it work. You can do so much with the mods that it would be impossible to make sure they are always safe.

Hey guys,

Please could you elaborate on this?

To confirm; is depth a film that was created in collaboration with Frictional and does frictional know/have any connection to its release?

I'm not asking fur specific information here, but is depth a consensual collaboration?

1) Monday.
2) Yes their embargo is same time as reviews, they have been told to not spoil a certain part, but other than that they will play the game. So watch out! Reason for us doing this is that it becomes really messy if you start restricting footage after review embargo. So we actually just moved the review embargo closer to release instead.
