A particularly watchful, Columbo-esque reader at Kotaku recently put a few widespread pieces of information together to draw an intriguing conclusion -- Sony Bend, the studio behind every Syphon Filter title to date, recently put up a help wanted ad calling for a full-time game tools programmer with PS3 or Xbox 360 experience. It's doubtful that they'll need to use the latter of those two, but it's enough to give rise to rumors that Sony's cooking up a current-gen installment in their decade-old action franchise.

But wait, there's more -- adding further fuel to the Filter flames is an entry on the Credits page of digital content creation company PCB Productions. About a quarter of the way down the page, the company acknowledges their mo-cap work for Syphon Filter 5, a PS3 title coming out of, you guessed it, Sony Bend. This one ranks pretty high on the likelyhoodometer -- we'll be waiting with bated breath to see if Sony will confirm Gabe's triumphant return to home consoles.

syphon what?

@blackstar

what you never heard of it???

no :S

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I hope this is true, Syphon filter is a very good series, and the last Syphon Filter game actually got game of the year for the PSP in 2007.

And to blackstar its basically like MGS4 except with more action and shooting but it's mainly a stealth game.

GABE!

Hell yes. Day 1 purchase.

Suhweet

I guess no one played the series.

i love that game.
