The Kore Gang has, to be blunt, had a development cycle from hell. It was originally going to be created for the Xbox, but the project was eventually moved to Wii. In 2008, an announcement regarding the switch in platforms was made, but there have been relatively few updates since then.

Well, it seems like The Kore Gang will see the light of day after all. According to the game’s new website, it’ll launch sometime in August. The developers will most likely share additional information in the coming weeks, though it’s great to see that the title will be released after all of this time has passed.

Check out this blurb from Spike, which reveals the contents of the next GameTrailers TV…

“GTTV goes behind-the-scenes on Marvel’s next big comic book game, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions! Not only do we uncover new details and footage for the game, but we also score an exclusive interview with Stan Lee to talk about the first Marvel MMO! That’s not all, because we debut the opening cinema for Greed Day Rock Band and premiere the first trailer for an upcoming game from a classic franchise you’ll have to see to believe!”

This is the only information that was provided, though Geoff Keighley may tease the game a bit next week. As always, we’ll let you know if this turns out to be Nintendo-related. Nintendo fans should probably tune in for next week’s episode regardless though, as Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Green Day: Rock Band will be featured.
