Starbreeze Working on New IP


In another bit of good news for developer Starbreeze Studios (recently it was announced they are working on the new Syndicate game), it looks like they are teaming up with film director Josef Farres and The Lab AB to work on a brand-new IP.

“I love games, and I have been working on a games concept for quite some time. The more I worked with the concept, the more convinced I felt that this is a solid game idea” says Josef Fares. “Together with Story Lab we created a prototype that we presented to Starbreeze, and they instantly liked the concept.”

Not much is known on the video game, but we will keep you posted as more is released.
