Apparently a game + CG motion picture package, which, if I understand things correctly, will come on a single disc. There's a bit of history behind the project which is mostly related here (though in a rather confused and incoherent manner):

The technical visual bits are interesting, but so far as mechanics go the developers have shown absolutely nothing, and the art perhaps deserves to be linked in the Artwork in Western Games thread. I mean it's not completely terrible, and some of the character/enemy designs are even pretty decent, but the overall effect of the world leaves me entirely cold. It looks like Resistance: Fall of Man + Haze + Lair +++ dozens of other entirely forgettable Western 3D action games.

Looks like the previously canned Xbox 360 version has been, well, "uncanned".

Looks like Ignition Entertainment were going to close Digi-Guys' main studios at London and the game was assumed to be cancelled: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/29/ignit ... under-eva/

Then, it was announced that the London studio wasn't going to be closed, but the game was effectively cancelled and thirty staff members were made redundant: http://www.develop-online.net/news/3616 ... -cancelled

... And THEN, the game was uncancelled, rebranded as Project Kane, entered "full production" and is set for release on 2012: http://www.next-gen.biz/news/wardevil-r ... n%E2%80%9D

Quite the eventful development, isn't it?
