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.
