New details have surfaced on L.A. Noire developer Team Bondi's next project Whore of the Orient, describing the charmingly titled game (originally revealed last November) as "a completely new and original IP being developed for next generation games consoles and PC." (thanks OPSMUK).

A website update included a single screenshot and the following summary:

Shanghai, 1936. Whore of the Orient. Paris of the East. The most corrupt and decadent city on the planet, where anything can be had or done for the right price. Plaything of Western powers who greedily exploit the Chinese masses. Boiling pot of Chinese nationalism, with the Kuomintang ruthlessly trying to suppress Communism and the labour movement. Home to the International Police Force, a group of Western cops hopelessly trying to keep the lid on and keep the peace.

Following the launch and success of LA Noire, Team Bondi became embroiled in controversy and a developer exodus due to alleged poor working conditions. However fellow Aussie studio and film production house KMM moved to salvage the brand and remnants of the team, and Whore of the Orient will reportedly be published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
