Shin’en will show the first footage from FAST Racing Neo, the company has revealed.

Speaking with HDWarriors, Manfred Linzner of Shin’en said:

Development is going very smooth. FAST Racing Neo is the biggest, and most beautiful game we ever did, and we’re taking the time to make sure that it’s also the best one. This Summer, people will have seen the game in motion.

FAST Racing Neo was announced in October 2013. It’s been a slow drip of information and assets since then, with Shin’en only sharing a few screenshots. Here’s hoping the title finally hits the Wii U eShop this year.

Edrox Interactive has shared a bit more on the story in Bizerta: Silent Evil along with a batch of new screenshots.

Bizerta: Silent Evil has players taking on the role of a 30 year-old man. Originally a 15 year-old boy, this person awakens in a “Dark World” and needs to discover how the transformation took place, why he’s there, and how to escape. The game’s story is said to be a work in progress.

You can check out the set of new screenshots below. Some of the images show off prototype uses of the Wii U GamePad.
