Thanks to the ONM gang for the news tip!

Other than this rating from the German classification board, which says the game is “Jump ‘n Run,” we’ll have to wait for more details. I’d be happy if this plays more like the old Rayman games, though.

This information comes from a High Voltage Software Ning account, who is a developer working on The Grinder…

“Lot of new stuff coming soon guys. New announcements, videos, screens, the whole 9 yards. Just hang tight, were busy making sure that anything you see will ‘wow’ your asses off!”

It’s been quite awhile since we last heard about The Grinder. In fact, the last time the team released a video was right around E3. I’m sure that the game has gone through a good amount of polish since then.
