Yesterday, based on information obtained by Eurogamer, it seemed to be pretty much confirmed that High Voltage is working on a Conduit game for 3DS. However, Eric Nofsinger has told Digital Spy that the title will be “something along the vein” of the series. Could this mean that the game will actually be a spinoff or a completely new IP?
“Well it’s not confirmed that we are developing Conduit for 3DS, but it is confirmed that we’re pulling our Quantum3 technology that the Conduit is built on. We’re pulling all that technology over to the 3DS and we’re very excited about what the system can do. We’ve got most of the core of our engine has been pulled over already, now we’re starting pulling some game layer stuff, some cool stuff, and get this stuff working. Probably, around that time frame [of 2012]. It really depends on… when it’s right to be released. That was a bit learning lesson for us from Conduit 1: don’t release it until it’s ready.”
Nofsinger also said that StreetPass functionality will be considered. The project has been in development for “quite a few months” and will be shown at this year’s Game Developers Conference.
