Saints Row developer Volition is officially working on new hardware. Studio Audio Director Ariel Gross listed “mysterious next generation of consoles” at platforms he’s involved with on his LinkedIn profile. It additionally states that three unannounced games are in the works, though it’s unknown if all three will be for new systems.

There is a decent shot of at least one of these games arriving on Wii U. Parent company THQ pledged support for the console early on with core games such as Darksiders II and Metro: Last Light. Maybe it’ll bring Saints Row 4 to the Wii U which also appears to be in development for current-gen systems.

A new batch of characters for Project X Zone has been announced in the latest issue of Famitsu. Street Fighter’s Chun Li, Darkstalkers’ Morrigan, Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier’s Haken Browning and Kaguya Nanbu, Sakura Wars’ Erica and Gemini, Dynamite Deka’s Bruno, and Valkyrie no Densetsu’s Valkyrie will be included on the roster.

New scans of Project X Zone can be viewed in the gallery above.







The latest issue of Famitsu has revealed a new project announcement from Capcom, with a somewhat odd combination of platforms. A project titled “Ex Troopers” is in the works for both the PlayStation 3 and 3DS according to the magazine.

Ex Troopers is an action-shooter produced by Shintaro Kojima. Kojima has previously worked on the Monster Hunter franchise.

Famitsu describes the game as having the same world view as Lost Planet, but it features anime-esque visuals.

More details will leak out of Famitsu over the next few hours. We’ll post scans as soon as we come across any images.


The latest Famitsu review scores are as follows:

Mario Tennis Open (3DS) – 9/8/8/9
Dragon’s Dogma (PS3/360) – 8/9/8/9
Samurai & Dragons (PSV) – 9/8/8/8
G1 Grand Prix (3DS) – 8/8/8/8
Happy Animal Farm (3DS) – 7/7/7/7
Uta no * Prince-Sama: Debut (PSP) – 7/7/7/6

THQ shared a couple of tidbits about next-generation consoles during its Q4 2012 earnings conference call today. During the discussion, president and CEO Brian Farrell said that the company will bring games to new systems at or near launch. Additionally, the company believes it has “several franchises that we can continue to build from the current to the next-generation.”

Konami is ditching a live E3 2012 press conference for a second straight year. The company has instead opted to prepare a recorded pre-E3 show, as was the case in 2011.

A countdown is running on a newly opened site here. It seems it’ll expire around May 31 or June 1, which is a few days before the start of E3 2012. The expo officially begins on June 5.
