Another War Devil title for the PS3?

Ignition Entertainment, though a bit unknown, has a commendable roster of games under its belt. Mainly focusing on handhelds PSP and DS, the UK-based developer has somewhat managed to stay away from consoles, especially next-gen ones. The closest they got probably was the SNK deal involving Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown and King of Fighters.

However, it seems that is not the case anymore as a couple of things happened with Ignition behind the stage. What happened was UTV, an Indian media and entertainment company, recently proposed acquisitions of the controlling stake of Ignition together with mobile and broadband company Indiagames.

With a funding coming from a giant conglomerate, Ignition isn’t talking “how” anymore. Currently they are discussing the “what and the when” of project War Devil. This is the first time we’ve actually heard of this game. This should not be mistaken with WarDevil: Enigma as that is being developed by Indigo Prophecy. According to Ignition Creative Director Andy Whitehurst:

The project is being developed exclusively for the Sony PS3 and we’re excited to be associated with Sony’s next generation system. War Devil is designed to leverage not only the videogames properties of the system, but also the Blu-Ray and media rich functions of the PS3 – presenting a unique combination of both Videogame & Motion Picture into a single, unique product, which gives cinematic High Definition content in real-time on the PS3.

Hmm… sounds quite promising if you ask us. However as of now, no other information is known about this project. But we will be sure to update you regarding the acquisition and if new details regarding the game comes out.
