Gamecock has signed a new project from Call of Duty: Finest Hour developer Spark Unlimited, GamesIndustry.biz is reporting.

Legendary: The Box is a new and original project, due for release in 2008 on PC and next-generation consoles.

"Like most developers, we've always had a dream game that we've secretly been working on," revealed Craig Allen, CEO of Spark.

"We've made a name for ourselves with World War II first-person shooters, but Legendary: The Box is our labour of love. It's a thrill to work with Gamecock; they want to see the game completed exactly as we envisioned it."

Harry Miller, head of development at Gamecock offered: "If there's one genre that needs a shot in the arm, it's the first-person shooter."

"Spark's Legendary: The Box is going to be a classic, in terms of story, gameplay and technology. I'm inspired by where they are taking the genre."

Spark Unlimited is also currently working with Codemasters on Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, due for release at the end of this year.

    What's with the two part game names? Make it simple, it sounds better. Either The Legendary or The Box, not both in the same name.

    It's the same situation with the new Naughty Dog game. The game looks brilliant, concept and gameplay sound great, but the name, oh the name! Uncharted: Drake's Fortune? I mean, what the fouk? Again, The Uncharted or Drake's Fortune, not BOTH.

    On other news, I think Gamecock is doing really well with their developer signings. I guess they a bunch of nice investors with deep pockets.

    Crappy titles need to die. Rare is the game that actually warrants a crappy subtitle. Just kill them pls.

    Anyways, way to spin non-news. So they're working on a new game and it is not a WWII shooter. But it is a shooter. Am I supposed to be excited about this?

    Because no other genres are tired are they? Noooooooooooo.

  • Viktor #12 5 years ago

    Gamecock and the legendary box? Is this another AO title?

  • 3william56 #13 5 years ago

    Damn: I thought it was Basic Instinct Interrogations: The Game!

    Though from the descriptions (if we can believe them) on IGN, it looks a pretty interesting take on the FPS scale - at least no frickin' Nazis (yes, Fall of Liberty, we're looking at you). We'll see how it turns out.

    "Because no other genres are tired are they? Noooooooooooo. "

    Ehm. not so much on the next-gen systems no. Come on. FPS are really getting ridiculouslly overproduced. Do you really need more??????

    How about a 360 platform game just for the heck of it.

    Legendary: The Box.

    You are fucking kidding me. An eight-year-old could come up with a better name than that.

  • gamesb*tch #16 5 years ago

    The basic premise revealed:

    Legendary: The Box tells the story of Charles Deckard, an art thief who is duped into stealing Pandora's Box. When he opens the box, he releases hordes of beasts thought to be fictional – such as werewolves and gryphons – into an unprepared modern world. A full scale war between man and myth begins, and it is quickly complicated by the actions of powerful secret societies. As the person responsible for releasing this terror, Deckard’s unwittingly become the only person capable of containing it once more and saving civilization from being destroyed by the terrifying creatures of the bo

    creatures of the bo? ;)

  • jlaakso #18 5 years ago

    IGN has the (exclusive) preview: http://xb ox360.ign.com/articles/802/8021...

  • ExplodingClown #19 5 years ago

    It's still a f*cking stupid title. And Pandora's jar ('box' is a mistranslation) contained metaphysical evils not f*cking werewolves! So thus far it's sounding like Doom 3 with half-arsed mythology. Count me out on this one.

  • agparrot #20 5 years ago

    I really wanted to read the IGN article, but almost has if some mythological force had a hand in things, I just couldn't get past the style in which it was written - it just made my eyes bounce around the first page without really taking anything in.

    Surely closing the box would sort the problem out, though?

  • Ace_McCloud #21 5 years ago

    Oh. I thought this was Halo 3 news:p
