What is Icarus?

Irrational Games has teased the forthcoming announcement of its new game, codenamed Project Icarus.

The website whatisicarus.com is now up and is registered to Take-Two. Hurry over there and stare into the gloom.

Irrational has also sent out save-the-date emails regarding an event on 11th August in New York City.

Irrational Games, led by Ken Levine, has been hard at work on whatever this is since it finished with the original BioShock in 2007.

Rather than work on BioShock 2, which was put together by 2K Marin. Rumours that Levine's team was working on XCOM also turned out to be untrue. That game, previewed at E3, is in development at 2K Marin's Australian outpost.

No rumours of business deals with EA (who own the System Shock, I think?) so I doubt it's System Shock.

Unless they do something that's going to be System Shock in all but name.

Icarus... hmmm... Deus Ex 3 is already on the way so it's not that. A greek flight sim maybe?

Every time something gets released with a teaser tag like that I get all excited for some mythological/historical game, then I remember that we're in this generation so it's almost certainly a near-future post-apocalyptic shooter... woo!

Then again if anyone will break the mould Irrational would be one of the best bets.

Icarus AGAIN? How many Icaruses (Icari?) can there be in gaming?!

Irrational have got one of the best and most diverse catalogues in gaming, let's hope for something unique and great! And let's face it, the chances are good that it will be!

To be more specific it's a blue-tak simulator.

I anticipate System Shock 3, though horribly "streamlined" because all games have to ensure they appeal to complete cretins.

Monochrome teaser site, eh? I'm going to guess film noir FPS about a detective.
