In an interview with Lionhead Studios boss Peter Molyneux at the Game Developers Conference, the legendary game designer said that their team is about to “revolutionize” AI in video games.

The said team is actually the same core responsible for the title Black & White which originally came out back in 2001. Molyneux added that the team has started working on the project right after the said title was released. He further discussed:

In the six years since Black & White was released they have been working improving the great things that underpinned that game, and now they are getting pretty close to something that is very significant.

ItÂ’s a very big thing. A new franchise and as close to something revolutionary as I have ever seen. And weÂ’re close to announcing it.
