BEYOND: Two Souls Release Date March 4, 2013

The next major game from developer Quantic Dream finally has a release date.  Following in the tradition of previous games Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) and Heavy Rain, BEYOND: Two Souls is an interactive adventure game which follows the story of a young girl named Jodie Holmes, who is spiritually connected to a ghost named Aiden.  The player will get to follow her through many years of her life as she adjusts to this peculiar situation.

We have known since E3 2012 that the game will star actress Ellen Page as the lead character, Jodie.  This weekend, we learned that heavily credited actor Willem Dafoe will be joining the game’s cast of characters as Nathan, the man who has followed Jodie’s case since the very beginning, trying to understand and explain it.

So how does he look in the game?  Take a look for yourselves.

Is the Academy paying close attention to this?  They should be.

You can also check out this interview with Willem Dafoe to see what the process was in digitally capturing his performance so it could be put in the game.

BEYOND: Two Souls is coming October 8th, 2013 exclusive to the Playstation 3.  An additional DLC scene and free upgrade to the game’s Special Edition will be offered for those who preorder from GameStop.
