Quantic Dream Steps Into New Territory
Quantic Dream SA, the studio best known for cinematic story-driven titles like Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain, has announced the start of closed beta registration for its upcoming multiplayer title, Spellcasters Chronicles. The free-to-play 3v3 third-person MOBA marks a significant departure from the studio’s narrative-heavy legacy, signaling its move into competitive online gaming.
Players interested in joining the closed beta can request access directly through Steam by clicking the “Request Access” button on the game’s store page. Approved participants will receive confirmation via email. While Spellcasters Chronicles has no confirmed release date, the beta is expected to launch before the end of 2025.
A Fresh Take on the MOBA Formula
Spellcasters Chronicles reimagines the traditional MOBA structure by combining dynamic third-person combat with the strategic depth of spellcraft. Players take on the role of powerful mages, teaming up in 3v3 battles that emphasize skill, synergy, and aerial combat.
The game’s combat system stands out for its freedom and versatility — players can wield over 50 spells and summons from seven schools of magic, offering deep customization and varied playstyles. Quantic Dream describes it as a blend of fast-paced action and large-scale magical warfare, featuring “hundreds of creatures” joining the fight.
As of now, the title is only confirmed for PC via Steam, with no word on console versions.

Quantic Dream’s Bold New Chapter
In an October 16 statement, Quantic Dream founder and CEO David Cage reflected on the studio’s evolution. Since 2016, the company has expanded significantly, transforming into both a developer and publisher. Cage acknowledged that Spellcasters Chronicles represents a daring step for the team:
“Taking risks, challenging ourselves, and exploring new ways of playing and telling stories has always been part of our DNA,” he said. “Earning the trust of players and standing out in such a competitive space is incredibly challenging.”
Alongside this new project, development continues on Star Wars: Eclipse, another major title in Quantic Dream’s pipeline.
