Last we heard of Ignition UK’s unfortunateWarDevil, the gamehad been canceledfollowing the studio’s decimation. Apparently, we all heard wrong, as the game is soon to enter “full production” under its new name,Project Kane.
“Following a comprehensive audit of the title, assets and internal team, we have decided that a core team responsible for theProject Kaneprototype will take the game into full production, led by the key vision holders,” announced UTV Ignition chairman Hassan Sadiq.
Design Director Julian Glover was quite positive about the project, adding: “We have cherry picked from some of the world’s best teams to build our UK studio which includes personnel whose combined previous development credits includeBurnout 3, Crysis, Little BigPlanet, andHeavenly Sword.We are extremely excited to fast-track development ofProject Kane.”
I’m not sure I like the new name, to be honest.WarDevilwasn’t the most inspired of titles, but it was amusing enough in its abruptness to stand out.Project Kanejust sounds far too generic. In any case, I’m happy the project isn’t dead, and I hope something good comes out of it. We could do with more quality British games.
