Over the weekend, a video for something calledThe Crucibleappearedthat was rumoredto be a Silicon Knights/Sega collaboration. Yesterday,Sega deniedthose rumors. Today, we have even more rumors concerning the brief slice of footage that has generated more discussion than it possibly deserves.
Kotakuclaims thatThe Crucibleis the work of Big Huge Games and formerObliviondesigner Ken Rolston. If true, this would be a THQ-published project for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in 2009. According to the rumor, the footage unearthed represents an “absolutely archaic” build that has been improved upon by “orders of magnitude” since it was made.
I hope this rumor is false and it actually turns out to be the highly anticipated sequel forLimbo of the Lost.
