Avalon
Publisher: TBA
Developer: Climax Studios
Genre: Vehicular Shooter
Release Date: TBA
What We Know: The same Brighton team that was responsible for the popular MotoGP series has been working on its first next-generation title for the last two years. Known as Avalon, Climax Studio's PS3 and Xbox 360 combat racer is quickly nearing completion. Running on a combination of the company's Blimey 2 engine and the Tomcat Toolset, Avalon is said to built along the same lines as games such as Twisted Metal and Full Auto, only with piloted vehicles available for the land, sea, and air.
Despite the game's advanced developmental maturity, however, Avalon has still never been seen in any capacity outside of Climax's internal studio. This means that the project's art style, feature set, and conceptual designs are still impossible to know. Nonetheless, Climax has at least confirmed that Avalon will boast a number of popular graphical effects including real-time shading and normal mapping, bloom lighting and vivid rendering, and DYNE physics reactions. Last but not least, Avalon will also support several online networking options for competitive play. Expect to hear more on this one fairly shortly.
