Detroit: Become Human launched in 2018 as a refinement of a style of game that Quantic Dream has become known for–an entangled cast of playable characters, detective-like investigations, nail-biting quick-time events, and a seemingly endlessly branching narrative. The most ambitious take on the format yet, Detroit: Become Human follows a rising android rebellion in a near-future setting where household robots have become commonplace.
