Gray Matter still pulsing

RTCW developer working on something top secret.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein developer Gray Matter Studios has piped up on its website to ward off rumours of its demise, after its last confirmed project, first person shooter Trinity: The Shatter Effect, was announced and then cancelled by publisher Activision during the latter months of 2003.

There had been speculation that Gray Matter, a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision, would go completely out of business following the announcement. But despite a silence of some eight months, its "news" page was updated this week with the cryptic words: "We are hard at work on something new and very top secret... If we told you, we'd have to kill you..."

Perhaps they're raiding houses for the Federal Bureau of Half-Life 2?
