Bulletstorm, Witcher 2 Devs Announce Hard Reset, New Studio

A new development studio comprised of game industry veterans who worked on a number of recent big releases has revealed its first game, a science fiction first-person shooter. Warsaw, Poland-based Flying Wild Hog is a 35-person team consisting of developers and designers who worked at the likes of People Can Fly, CD Projekt RED and City Interactive. Past titles that team members have worked on include Bulletstorm, The Witcher 2 and Painkiller. The studio's first game will be Hard Reset, a dark cyberpunk shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity is on the brink of extinction. Players take on the role of Major Fletcher, dragged into the conflict between two opposing armies who are looking to remove mankind from the face of the Earth. The game is due to be released in September 2011 exclusively for PC, and will make use of Flying Wild Hog's own engine called Road Hog, which the studio says will "deliver stunning visuals that bring the game's incredible atmosphere to life."
