Just Cause dev not making Superman game
Avalanche Studios founder denies that developer is working on title based on comic book hero.
Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios is making a game based on a comic book franchise, but it's not Superman. Studio founder Christofer Sundberg revealed the news responding to a question from Superannuation on Twitter.
"Superman game? We do a lot of weird things but that's not one of them," Sundberg wrote.
Avalanche Studios announced last year that in addition to an open-world title with Square Enix, the developer was making two additional games: one based on a movie and another based on a comic book franchise.
Sundberg has released two teaser images from one of Avalanche's in-development projects, which could be unveiled at the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo this summer.
The images bear a resemblance to the Just Cause franchise, though the company has yet to officially announce any of its upcoming projects.
