Yesterday
I
covered
a
story
about
a
potential
sequel
or
spiritual
sequel
to
LA
Noire,
a
crime-thriller
set
in
the
1940s
published
in
2011
by
Rockstar.

Here’s
what
happened:
an
Australian
musician
made
a
few
Instagram
posts
showing
recording
sessions
which
she
described
as
being
for
a
new
game
“from
the
creators
of
LA
Noire”
titled
Sowden
House.
The
name
is
important
as
it
references
the
infamous
Black
Dahlia
murder
which
featured
heavily
in
LA
Noire.
The
posts
were
taken
down
though,
leaving
fans
to
speculate
about
the
nature
of
the
project.
Some
thought
it
could
be
a
proper
sequel,
whiles
others
pondered
the
idea
that
it
would
be
a
spiritual
follow-up
from
former
LA
Noire
developers.

That
brings
us
to
now.
Video
Game
Deluxe
–
previously
known
as
Team
Bondi,
the
studio
that
created
LA
Noire
–

has
issued
a
statement
on
LinkedIn
clarifying
what
was
posted
by
the
musician.

“We
are
working
exclusively
on
projects
for
Rockstar,”
said
Video
Game
Deluxe.
“We
commissioned
some
music
from
a
local
composer
Freyja
Garbett
for
a
VR
project
that
we
were
working
on
a
number
of
years
ago
when
between
projects.
It
is
based
on
a
case
from
LA
Noire
that
did
not
make
the
cut
but
was
more
of
a
tech
demo
than
anything
else.
We
have
no
idea
whether
this
will
ever
see
the
light
of
day
but
we
decided
to
finish
the
score
commission
to
support
a
local
composer.”

It
is,
of
course,
possible
that
Video
Game
Deluxe
is
working
on
a
true
LA
Noire
sequel,
but
it
doesn’t
seem
likely
as
Rockstar
have
not
shown
much
interest
in
it
over
the
years.
