Dreams of Another announced in PlayStation State of Play

12 FEBRUARY 2025 - Kyoto-based creative studio Q-Games has officially revealed Dreams of Another, the latest title by multimedia artist Baiyon, the director of PixelJunk Eden. The game was announced during PlayStation's State of Play, with a trailer and accompanying message from Baiyon himself.

The game is built around the philosophical theme of "No Creation Without Destruction." Rather than destroying objects by shooting, as in traditional shooting games, here, your shots materialize and create the world. This unconventional mechanic offers a gameplay experience that challenges the norms of the genre and invites players into a whole new dimension.

Dreams of Another is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 and PS VR2 in 2025, with wishlist registration now open.

Message from Director Baiyon

Hello to all the passionate game lovers out there! This is Baiyon.

Just like you, I truly love games. As a creator who works across various media, I've long been thinking: could I create a game that weaves in my deep love for videogames and allows us to share that passion together? The result of that journey is my latest game, Dreams of Another. By continuously exploring the forms and traditions that exist within games with great appreciation and respect, sometimes from completely different perspectives, even in reverse, I was able to create something truly exciting.

You destroy with a gun, yet in fact, you create. Like the strokes of a brush on a canvas, where each action brings something new into existence. I wanted to create a game that evokes this sensation, and through endless experimentation and careful adjustments with my team, it finally took shape.

For this project, I began by creating the concept from scratch. Along with the art and sound, I also took on the new challenge of creating the entire story, carefully crafting the dialogue for all the characters and objects, weaving in my doubts and struggles. The sentiments conveyed by the characters and objects in the game are like lyrics to me. I hope you'll dive into the unique, cohesive experience that was crafted as I composed the music to resonate with them.

Baiyon's profile

The Kyoto-based, Japanese multimedia artist, Baiyon is an active sound producer, creative director, art director, game designer and DJ. He is not bound to any single media. Having made his musical debut in 2004 with the film Moog, a documentary about the legendary synthesizer maker, he has since branched out to many different artistic endeavors.

His work includes original music releases and musical score collaborations in various mediums expanding on his unique musical style, remixing a wide range of music from the works of Chilean-born Techno/House music producer Ricardo Villalobos to the classic fighting game Street Fighter II.

Baiyon has run his own label, Descanso, for many years which has produced various releases. Baiyon has also released remixes from other labels and performed in live shows across the globe. He later went on to collaborate on video game projects with Q-Games as sound and art director with PixelJunk Eden (2008) and PixelJunk 4am (2012).

Quickly following this, he went on to compose for LittleBigPlanet 2 and was also named as one of Game Developer magazine's fifty important figures in the gaming industry. Not to be tied down, Baiyon has had his storytelling designs featured in artworks and character designs along with various collaborations and has gained global media attention. He is also currently running his own apparel brand, "Whisper Not".

In 2016, after 15 years as a freelance artist, Baiyon joined Q-Games to take on a role as creative director and worked as director of game, art and sound on Eden Obscura (2018) and PixelJunk Eden 2 (2020). He continues to apply his unique artistic sense to creating remarkable games.
