Mark Cerny Discusses Next Game, Possibility of Knack Sequel

PlayStation 4 lead architect Mark Cerny has shed light on what his plans are for the future as far as game development goes. In addition, the tech wizard hinted at whether or not gamers could expect to see a Knack sequel any time soon.

"I’m trying to get back to games," Cerny told IGN. "One of the projects I’m trying to kick off is a so-called 'indie title'. It won’t really be an indie title because it’ll be fully funded, but it’ll be nice to have a project where the scope is small enough that I’ll know the names of everybody on the team, which is really hard to do these days now that you’ve got 100, 200, 300 people internal plus everyone outside the company."

When asked about the likelihood of a Knack 2, Cerny went on to say, "I would love to keep working with the [Knack] brand, definitely. There’s a lot unexplored there, I think anybody who played the game would tell you that!"

What do you hope Cerny tackles next? A new IP? A Knack sequel? PlayStation 5?
