A few days ago, Indiagames COO Sameer Bangara was interviewed by AnimationXpress on the company’s current business situation and future mobile gaming plans. When asked about the ensuing development for PC and console gaming, Bangara revealed that the company is working together with UTV-owned, UK-based game publisher Ignition Entertainment on a several number of projects. One in particular that only seems to be possible on the Playstation 3.

Is Indiagames looking at developing high-end games for platforms apart from mobile?
Yes. But, we don‘t compete with our publishing partners. Hence, we only work in sections which are not catered by them because that will conflict with our GOD model. However, our 3D team has excellent potential and we are working on some high-end content. If you take Paanchvi Pass, for example, it‘s a cracker of a game. Then there is 20-20, a cricket game, which is also doing very well. As far as console titles go, we are working on a title called Ashoka. Besides, through our group company Ignition we are working on three other titles, of which one game can only run on a PS3.

Now, there aren’t that many publicly-know PS3 exclusives from Ignition buzzing around the net these days. Actually, there’s just one! So we’re gonna bite the proverbial bullet here and assume that Bangara is talking about the closely-kept guarded secret that is WarDevil. Being developed by Digi-Guys, a subsidiary of Ignition, WarDevil is an action-adventure game being built to accommodate the latest in graphics tech and will hopefully push the PS3 hardware to its limits. So where Indiagames fits into all of this is anyone’s guess, and we highly doubt Bangara will just give us the info on a silver platter. One thing’s for sure: any notable signs of Bhangra music in this post-apocolyptic robo-fiesta, and you will now come to understand how it happened.

  Interesting, but why not just say so?
  We’ve known that Wardevil was an exclusive for some time now… maybe they are talking about games outside internal development, which could explain where Indiagames comes into all of this, since IG have had nothing to do with Wardevil thus far.
