Rebellion moves to next-gen with Shellshock sequel
UK dev has big plans for PS3, 360 titles in 2008
After completing 12 PSP titles, Rebellion has told GamesIndustry.biz that it's now fully focused on home consoles, with a sequel to Eidos' Shellshock the first PS3 and 360 title from the UK studio.
The developer has finished 2007 with a portfolio of high-profile PSP licenses including The Simpsons Game, Star War Battlefront and Alien Vs Predator, but is now confident of shifting to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 formats.
"Next year we'll have our first next-gen project out – Shellshock 2 with Eidos," confirmed CEO Jason Kingsley, speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz at last week's Game Connection event.
"It's very much a mature product, it's a bit like Jacob's Ladder or Apocalypse Now in movie terms. It's troubling – deliberately so – it's meant to be challenging the nature of war, the horror and why people do these horrific things to each other.
"It'll be our first next-gen title, which is slightly nervewracking, but it's looking absolutely lovely," he said.
