Avalanche working on ‘stunning’ looking multiplayer game for PSN/XBL

CVG’s reporting that Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios is poised to announce its first multiplayer project for PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade.

The game, a new IP, will apparently be shown off at E3 and should get a formal reveal in the next week or so.

"We’ll probably show the game at E3," revealed Christofer Sundberg, founder of Avalanche. "It’s original IP and a pretty cool little game. It’s our first multiplayer title.”

Sundberg let slip that the unnamed title will utilize the same technology as Avalanche’s more meatier projects, and teased that the game should be quite the eye-opener in terms of aesthetics.

"There’s so much work going into the tech and game design of our bigger, more risky projects, we thought that we could use that on XBLA and PSN; that we could use the same tech and experience to create something that costs about as much as one milestone payment for the bigger projects,” he explained.

"We’ve built high production values on this title. It looks absolutely stunning. It’s been such a success internally, PSN and XBLA is now seen as a very tempting world to go further into."
