Rumor Mill: Electronic Arts Prepares New Populous, Respawn Shooter, Outernauts

A user from the gaming-oriented forum NeoGAF has claimed to have seen information on a page which details the launch plans that publisher Electronic Arts has for the next 12 months, including a number of unannounced titles like a new Populous, Outernauts and Respawn.

Populous is the most interesting name of the list, suggesting that the Peter Molyneux God game classic might be set for a remake, although it is not clear what EA studio might be capable of achieving, trying to update that experience.

Also mentioned is Outernauts, a new game that is being developed by Insomniac Games, best known for creating the Ratchet & Clank series.

The Respawn game is probably the in-development tag for a new shooter created by Resapwn Entertainment, the company that Jason West and Vince Zampella created after leaving Activision and Infinity Ward.

Other two mentioned titles are The Secret World, which is an MMO being created by Funcom, and Overstrike, a new game from Insomniac.
