FILIPINO game development firm Anino Games said it has put on hold the development of what could have been its first console game called Project Phoenix. Anino announced in January this year the development of Project Phoenix and showed an alpha version of the game to hackenslash. The game was originally intended for the Microsoft Xbox 360 but could eventually be ported to the Sony PlayStation 3.
In an e-mail response to hackenslash, Anino senior producer Paraluman Cruz stressed that Project Phoenix was put on hold as they "pursue other platforms." "Our end goal is to make next-generation games, but to get there we realized we need to build up our portfolio on current-generation platforms (PC and recently the Nintendo DS); these platforms will give us the experience and credibility we need to make our dream [of a] next-gen game," Cruz said. Project Phoenix is a third-person action-adventure shooter with a female character. The setting is a sort of cyber-punk megacity under threat from underground hackers.
