Irrational Games, developers of the critically acclaimed BioShock and System Shock titles have a big reveal coming up this week, with the veil on their latest new game due to be lifted at a special event in New York in a little over 24 hours time.
The secrecy surrounding this one has been extremely tight lipped and there doesn't seem to be much on the rumour-mill except utter speculation. All we have to go on so far is this
teaser website and the codename "Project Icarus".
The teaser site has been displaying a slowly rotating series of images and Internet sleuths over on the
have collected and combined these grabs to form an infinity symbol with a peek at some kind of hidden image within it.
Thanks to the awesome folk at 2K Games, AusGamers will be among those attending the media reveal and we'll be sure to share all of our findings once the news goes public after 1:45pm August 12 2010 US Eastern (4am Friday morning Aug-13-2010 Sydney time).

Whatever it is, I hope it's more FPS and less RPG (if it is an FPS). I know BioShock was a pretty decent balance but it was such an cool world and atmosphere and everything, the RPG elements just still felt a bit too grindy for my personal liking..
