Volition Confirms New IP in Development

Red Faction studio Volition has confirmed in an interview with Videogamer that the company is working on a new intellectual property.

"There are, but I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about them," said David Abzug, Red Faction: Armageddon lead designer, when asked about the studio's new IP.

As of the time of this writing, the studio has already confirmed that it will be developing a game called inSane, with renown director Guillermo del Toro.

Abzug says that the company may return to first person shooters with a new IP, away from the third person perspective adopted by the recent Red Faction and Saint's Row titles it had developed.

“First-person and third-person are just two different ways of making it. There are things that first-person does better, there are things that third-person does better. Third-person gives you more situational awareness, first-person makes you feel more involved in the action,” added Abzug.

“Third-person lets you see your character more, first-person gives you a more claustrophobic view – it’s better for a military shooter.”
