Dead Island Team Working On "Project Hell"


Techland have announced that they are currently working on a new game, currently named "Project Hell". The game is a spin off from Dead Island, as revealed on their recent blog-post about the game, it comes out of "an internal weapon mod" for Dead Island, made by one of their own. It's a first-person "hack and slash game in a dark fantasy setting". Techland said that the mod "was a proof that chopping monsters frozen by magic spells using two-handed swords is brutally fun and addictive." We had always suspected, of course, but now we have proof. Horrible proof. It's going to be just as dark as their tropical zombie-hurter: "Our main goal is to make a game we can all enjoy playing so don’t expect unicorns and fairies – we prefer breaking through hordes of undead minions only to slaughter their devilish and loathsome masters in a bloody boss-fight."

No other details on release or owt, but they say a small team is currently working full-time on the game.
