French-Canadian developer Dontnod Entertainment turns 14 today, and they’re celebrating with new announcements. First of all, “Dontnod” is no more – the developer behind Life is Strange, Vampyr and Tell Me Why is renaming itself Don’t Nod. They also announced that they have six internally developed projects underway (last I heard, they only had five).
Don’t Nod (formerly known as Dontnod Entertainment) celebrates its 14th year of creating meaningful storytelling games. The business has evolved steadily since the beginning, and so we underwent a visual rebranding as part of our evolution to better reflect who we are as a business today.
The business has gone through huge changes over the past few years, namely the addition of our Montreal studio and our expansion into game publishing, which brings us to approximately 320 talents in France and Montreal who benefit our innovative FROG (Fully Remote Organization) system. The Dontnodiens all work in several human-sized teams and on six exciting internal projects to come! We self-publish most of our games, as well as those of other developers, offering our support to bring their creations to life.
As part of their rebranding, Don’t Nod released a teaser showing off their new logo in various styles, most of which were seen as hints at the games they’re working on. Interestingly, while Don’t Nod claims to have six games in the works, there are actually Seven hook logos. Is the seventh something Don’t Nod is working on with another publisher? Or maybe it’s something they just post? We’ll have to wait and see, I guess. Check out the teaser, below.
Hmm, a retro 80s themed logo, one on a cool background with glowing runes, one with hanging stars you might see in a kid’s room, a radiating star field, which appears to be a diagram of various branching paths, a rock face with a hanging rope, and finally, the logo imprinted in the snow. Feel free to speculate! That said, Don’t Nod has provided its own additional advice. life is strange producer Luc Baghadoust from Don’t Nod Montreal responded to the videotape.

Meanwhile, the official Don’t Nod Twitter account responded to a fan speculating that the starfield tease was for a sci-fi project.

What do you think Don’t Nod could be up to? What are you doing hope they manufacture?
