Last month, news materialised that Ignition's long-gestating and troubled title, WarDevil had been canned after mounting production costs put a strain on finishing the product, leading to the ultimate decision to cut its losses. Today however, the title first announced back in 2004 has been given a new lease of life, as UTV Ignition has ressurected the game following completion of a studio review. It will now be called 'Project Kane'.

“Following a comprehensive audit of the title, assets and internal team, we have decided that a core team responsible for the Project Kane prototype will take the game into full production, led by the key vision holders," commented Hassan Sadiq, group chairman of UTV Ignition.

"There has been speculation recently about this project but our vision has always been to create top quality content both with internal and external partners and this latest commitment combines the best of the DNA behind the original project vision with some of the creative talent available in the broader industry. Outsourcing ensures flexibility and broader expertise that will dovetail perfectly with internal skill sets to speed up the process and ensure a title of true excellence."

With a team led by Ignition London Studio's Executive Producer Shaun Gwilliam, a pool of talent has been assembled to complete the project, with cherry-picked personnel whose previous development experience includes Burnout 3, Crysis, LittleBigPlanet and Heavenly Sword. "We are extremely excited to fast-track development of Project Kane," said Gwilliam.

Looks like this saga could have a happy ending after all then. Project Kane is now on course for a projected Q4 2011 release.
