14 DAY TRIAL // The developer Respawn Entertainment, created by former Modern Warfare 2 developers and Infinity Ward leaders Vince Zampella and Jason West, has released the first image taken from their new video game project.
The image, which you can see attached to this article, is rather blurry and it was offered on the official website of the company, although no further details on its new game have been given.
It's likely that the image has been created by Iain McCaig, a concept artist that is well known for working on projects like The Secret of Monkey Island, the second part of the Star Wars movie trilogy and the James Bond movies.
The Respawn Entertainment released image has been blurred enough to make it very hard to decipher any clear details, although it's pretty clear that we are not looking at a grey and brown modern battlefield like those that were depicted in the Call of Duty series that Zampella and West have worked on.
The apparently bright color and the shapes suggest something set in the far future on exotic alien worlds, which meshes well with the long-running rumors that Respawn is creating a first-person shooter science fiction powered video game.
Frank Gibeau, who is the president of the EA Games division at Electronic Arts, has recently stated that for the foreseeable future Battlefield and the reborn Medal of Honor will cover the modern shooter space for his company while Respawn Entertainment is working on something different.
Rumors have mentioned MMO elements and a persistent team-based shooter, but so far the developers themselves have refused to deliver any confirmations.
At the moment, Zampella and West are still engaged in a legal battle with former publisher Activision, with the two sides both claiming that the other has breached the terms of their contract.
A judge recently said that the case can go to trial.
