Silicon Knights and Digital Extreme have confirmed that they are in the process of working on a new title each for the PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360, which are scheduled to hit the shops within the next two years.
News comes as both companies received a funding of USD 1 million from the Ontario Media Development Corporation, which aims to bolster the local development community.
According to reports, Digital Extremes is currently working on a "a third-person action game with an old school horror theme,” while Silicon Knights, previously a stable mate of Nintendo, aims to release a "a third-person action/psychological thriller."
At first glance, the latter certainly fits the bill of a possible sequel to the 2002 GameCube title, Eternal Darkness, although nothing has been confirmed at this stage.
Silicon Knights President, Denis Dyack, commented: “We hope that this new program will flourish and help expand the Ontario video game industry.”
Stay tuned for more information as we get it.
