Spiritual successor to Black?

New FPS in development in Guildford
Bengt Lemne 16 February 2010

Codemasters are looking for more people for the facilities in Guildford, and have released some of the first details on the studios' first project under the helm of Black Creative Director Stuart Black (formerly with Criterion).

"The project, an original action FPS for leading console platforms, comes from the studio's Creative Director Stuart Black, previously co-creator and designer of Black (2006). The title will be Codemasters' first new IP developed utilizing the EGO Game Technology Platform, Codemasters' multi-platform, cross-genre development engine, following the successful reboots of established franchises including Colin McRae: DiRT, Race Driver: GRID and Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising."

The game has been in full production for 12 months and it is rumoured that it is this game that will be revealed in the next issue of the OXM (Official Xbox 360 Magazine). The studio is also working on other prototypes and they obviously need more people... (as can be seen in the ad below).
