Matt Jordan Smitt, Pageboy's head of development and production, highlighted the team's commitment to honoring the game's legacy while incorporating fresh perspectives. He underscored the themes of survival and the impact of crucial decisions as central to the narrative.
Originally released for PlayStation 3 in 2013, Beyond: Two Souls later appeared on PlayStation 4 (2015) and PC (2019). Directed and written by Quantic Dream's David Cage, the game follows Jodie Holmes, a girl with psychic abilities connected to a spirit named Aiden. The game's nonlinear storyline, spanning various stages of her life, and its star-studded cast (including Page and Willem Dafoe) were notable aspects.
Cage confirmed his collaboration with Page on the TV series, though the extent of his involvement remains unspecified. He expressed his excitement about the collaboration, praising Page's performance and confidence in his ability to translate the story's emotional impact to a new medium.
The Beyond: Two Souls TV series is still some time away. In the meantime, IGN's original game review can be found here and a compilation of Quantic Dream game reviews is available here.
