Big Huge Games could be saved from the swinging axe, according to a report from Kotaku, which also details two games the company was in the middle of developing: God: The Game andAscendant. God: The Game was planned for Wii, with obvious inspiration from games such asAnimal Crossing and The Legend of Zelda, and seems to have been early in development based on the game art available.

The other title, Ascendant, was destined for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, and is (was?) an action RPG set in a fantasy world. A brief trailer for the game confirms that Ken Rolston, lead designer forOblivion, was involved. Based on that trailer and some in-game shots, we'd say Big Huge Games was on the verge of living up to its name.

There could still be hope for these games, though. Unnamed sources claim that several buyers are checking out the developer, including Curt Schilling's 38 Studios. Hopefully, Big Huge Games can bebig huge saved.

I really hope someone saves this company, those games, specifically Ascendant, were a lot of fun to play. XP (For those of you who didn't read my post from maybe a year ago, I had interned at BHG and got to test what is now referred to as Ascendant. When I was there it was called something else, but I'm not sure if I'm legally allowed to talk about it. ;) )

I thought this was going to be another article about how big budget HD games cost too much and are too risky to develop, silly me.

me too

I wish that they would make another RTS the more the better.
