14 DAY TRIAL // People Can Fly may not be a developer that's very famous, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't have its share of big names attached to it. Painkiller would be one of them, as well as the PC port of Gears of War, but the name of Gorky 17 might ring a familiar and nostalgic bell as well. Now existing in collaboration with Epic Games, the developer is working on a new IP that was unveiled as being named Bulletstorm. The upcoming game's title was revealed by a trademark filing recently put together.
The Polish developer filed the application last week with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and covers a product that falls under the "Computer software for use with personal computers, for use with home video game consoles for use with televisions, and for use with arcade-based video game consoles for use with televisions" category. There was also a "Printed materials; user manuals; hint books," trademark application, so, if we put those two in more common words, it basically means that People Can Fly will have a video game and manual for it ready for us pretty soon.
Picking all this from a trademark filing means that the project hasn't been officially announced yet, but, if all guesses are correct, then Bulletstorm should be the "multi-platform game project" that Epic Games teased us with, and Electronic Arts said it would publish.
People Can Fly and Epic Games teamed up back in 2007, after the team handled the creation of some of the additional content for the PC version of GoW. Their work was so impressive, that, in the end, Epic Games decided to shift the entire porting process of Gears of War over to People Can Fly. The end sales of the PC game convinced Epic to acquire a majority share in the company, turning PCF into one of its subsidiary studios.
