Flying Wild Hogs -- a new Poland-based independent studio comprised of developers from People Can Fly (Painkiller, Bulletstorm), CD Project RED (The Witcher) and City Interactive (Sniper: Ghost Warrior) -- have announced their debut title, a "dark sci-fi" themed first person shooter titled Hard Reset.

The PC-exclusive title transports players to a haunting, dystopian future, with humanity on the verge of extinction, confined to its last standing city and under constant threat from the robotic hordes that aim to annihilate mankind.

Not only is the game currently PC exclusive and reportedly built on their own in-house engine technology, but it's also due to ship very shortly, in "September 2011".
