New Line Cinema and Quantic Dream have obtained rights for a movie adaptation, but nothing has been heard of it since early 2011. Quantic Dream is self-publishing this port. In March 2019, it was announced that the game would be coming to PC later that year, exclusively via the Epic Games Store for the first 12 months. Both games have received an Updated Re-release for the PlayStation 4, although this port does not include the DLC chapter The Taxidermist. At E3 2012, the spiritual successor to Heavy Rain was revealed as the supernatural drama Beyond: Two Souls.

Similar to how Heavy Rain started off with a tech demo, The Casting, Quantic Dream released a new tech demo KARA on March 7, 2012, hinting at their 2015 reveal of Detroit: Become Human. Others are planned but on indefinite hold. One downloadable chapter, The Taxidermist, has been released. Despite the developers' meager sales expectations (200,000 copies), Heavy Rain sold like hotcakes, surpassing a whopping 2 million by 2011.
