Bullet Storm: New shooter from Epic Games and EA

In EA’s recent financial report, there’s mention of a shooter from Epic Games scheduled for release between January and March 2011. After a little digging around, it’s almost certain that this game is Bullet Storm, developed by People Can Fly, which is a sub division of Epic Games. The game will be a collaboration between People Can Fly and Epic, and will be published by EA Partners for consoles and PC early next year.

People Can Fly is the Poland-based studio that brought us Painkiller as well the PC port of Gears of War. Further evidence comes from the developer’s website which states, ‘A brand new IP is in development as a collaboration between People Can Fly and Epic Games. The title is being published by EA Partners’, although the title ‘Bullet Storm’ isn’t mentioned. It’s unknown whether this will be third-person or first-person shooter, but with release only a year away, we should see an announcement very soon.
