Pixel Entertainment clarifies Starbeast project, has 3DS eShop game in the works

Pixel Entertainment has sent us some information clarifying the development of Starbeast and the studio’s other projects.

Starbeast is said to be in a “very early stage in development.” Its slow creation process allowed the team “to fine tune every detail.”

At one point, the game was indeed coming to Wii. But when Pixel Entertainment heard about Wii U, the team decided to switch Starbeast to the new console.

The information we posted over the weekend is outdated. It’s “very different now, due to the extra time.”

Pixel put the project on hold in January. This allowed for the development of a simpler, unannounced 3DS eShop game. Once this new title is done – and we should be hearing about it within a month – development will switch back to Starbeast and a formal announcement will be made before year’s end.
