Accusations of vapour-ware against Digi-Guy's Wardevil progressed into late last year, but now there's new signs that the project is still alive and well.
Wardevil: Unleash the Beast Within, originally announced in 2005, was first cancelled for the Xbox 360 and then became a mysterious PlayStation 3 exclusive that would earn gradual screenshot and trailer leaks throughout the past four years.
Ignition Entertainment is the game's publisher, also responsible for King of Fighters XII, and today unveiled a new revamped official website for the company.
If you make your way over to Ignition's new website you'll find that the very first game to be publicised is Wardevil: Unleash the Beast Within.
Atomiqon writes, "There are always games that we wait for, sometimes for years, in eager anticipation before they are finally released to the masses. Occasionally, after delays and long periods of media black-outs, some games get lost in the shuffle never to resurface. Below is a collection of games that seemed to have promise and appeal but were ultimately cancelled or have not been heard from in a long time."
More after the break.
the last guardian
i really need any info about this game
all i need is team ico telling us if this game will come out this gen or the next one
FF versus was literally the deciding point in me getting a Ps3 back in 07. I expected it year after year at game shows and stuff.
Bah S-E....Bah!
That's all I have to say to them.
Please info in January + finish and release before Xiii-3
That and Final Fantasy 10 for Vita and PS3 and please cross buy and play! I love that game and can't play it anymore since my fatty died:( have been dying to play it again on the go mostly.
Edit: Oh and Kingdom Hearts 3 please! Something to let us know that it's coming!
Would be cool if Agent was the game Rockstar was making with all GTA cities combined into one game, and that that is why it's taking so long.
You know what the tragedy of TLG is ? the fact that when it was announced it was easily the most anticipated game of the show the amount of awards that trailer won and all that pre-release buzz which was and still is astronomical, information on the game would regularly be updated.
But nothing information regarding this game has been so sparse in the 3 years it was announced, no screenshots no gameplay video's, developer diaries nothing, this isn't anything out the norm but for a game as high profile as TLG it's quite tragic.
This list needs to be longer there have been way too many M.I.A of anticipated games this gen.
FF13 vs and Last Guardian could very well be the two gen shattering games this gen and they're nowhere to be found and we've gotten nothing but delay news....
What makes you think that they will be the best games ever? Last game that took long to release was a piece of crap. Duke nukem forever. These 2 games are going the same path
i think we willhear some more news about ffvs 13 in 2013 i think last gurdian will launch on ps4 i think getaway 3 will not come out same goes for eight days eyeidentify i think thats vapoware now unles these games arrive on ps4
Still annoys me that Sony pulled the funding on Getaway 3 and Eight Days games for the sake of the Eyetoy and Singstar games!!
If Agent, FF VS XIII and Last Guardian where real and released earlier the ps3 would of been much better off sales wise i bet. Missed opportunities Sony
I struggle to see how it is sony's fault except for last guardian but why release something that isn't ready
Even Sony doesn't know wtf rockstar are doing about Agent
Ignition Entertainment's U.S. publishing branch is on the move.
A spokesperson confirmed to IGN that the company will be closing its Glendale offices in Los Angeles County, Calif. The staff is re-locating to Austin, Texas effective Jan. 3, 2011.
UTV Ignition Entertainment today announce the conclusion of its studio review for the third-person action title, War Devil which will now to be called ‘Project Kane’ and is given the green light despite production previously being holted on the very visceral looking title.
I'd given up on this title months ago after the website went black.
I'm curious if they've even done anything development-wise in the past year or two - I can't remember seeing anything at all (not even the occasional screenshot update).
WTF? they're still working on this damn game? Isn't this suppose to be vapor-ware?
“We have cherry picked from some of the world’s best teams to build our UK studio which includes personnel whose combined previous development credits include Burnout 3, Crysis, Little BigPlanet, and Heavenly Sword. We are extremely excited to fast-track development of Project Kane.”
This game is going to be amazing!
Yawn. Where is it already?
I'm looking forward for this game.
i really need a gameplay trailer soon because i don't buy into all the hype about its supposedly benchmark-setting gfx. Since the likelihood of Wardevil surpassing KZ2 gfx is close to nil, i hope they are really bringing something new to the action genre

Couldn't find any confirmation of it's exclusivity on the Wardevil site either.
This could be multi now. Wouldn't surprise me with the way that the market is nowadays. Shame, as I prefer exclusives (for any system; makes the best of things instead of splitting resources).
According to the article they had to make the engine, the game itself, and an animated short. I hope this comes to fruition as I enjoy games like Heavenly Sword and Dead Space that attempt to create an entire mythos in conjunction with the game's release. In fact, I highly recommend watching both 6-part animated shorts off PSN before playing either game. And there's also the DS animated full-length movie you can rent too. Helps to create tension in the game before you ever play it.
Point is, we'll know if this game is real and not vaporware if they bring out Waredevil Chronicles anytime soon. The animation is even similar to Samurai Jack and Heavenly Sword.
