Playlogic executive VP Rogier Smit further explained that this new game is under development at the company's in-house studio in Breda, the Netherlands. In line with this announcement, Smit also elaborated on Playlogic's commitment to the UK market:

The UK is a very important market for us. Our recent releases such as Infernal (Windows PC), Ancient Wars: Sparta (Windows PC), Xyanide Resurrection (PS2, PlayStation Portable)and Obscure II (PlayStation 2, Wii, and Windows PC) have all performed well and we plan to release even more titles in the future.

Playlogic Entertainment is currently based in New York and Amsterdam, and has a total of 75 employees. Check back again in case we find more information regarding the company's yet-to-be-revealed PlayStation 3 title.

Another addition to the survival horror scene is Obscure II by Playlogic Entertainment and Hydravision Entertainment. What seems to be the brainchild of Resident Evil and Silent Hill is coming to the Sony PS2,  Nintendo Wii, and PC to give everyone a scare. To kick things off, check out the game's official website that recently went online.

Some sweet Obscure II goodies are waiting. Among free downloadable media are wallpapers, audio tracks, and a trailer. The site also posted the game's features, such as unique co-op mode and stunning soundtrack performed by The Boston String Quartet and The Paris Opera Children's Choir.

You'll encounter a stash of weapons available in-game on the way. Character profiles - all nine of them - are also present for your viewing pleasure. The roster includes a couple of Asian gamer chicks and other dudes with special abilities. Spoilers kill the suspense, so let's cut to the chase; head over the "Read" link below to find the official website.

Leafmore High's Scooby Gang must have thought that they'd left the horrors they experienced when they graduated from high school, but they were wrong. Who'd have thought that there was more to come in college?

A few months back, we reported on Playlogic Entertainment and Hydravision Entertainment's announcement of ObsCure's sequel. Today, we've got some eye candy for you in the form of a gameplay trailer and a batch of screenshots for ObsCure II (PS2, PC, and Wii).

The gang's back and they find themselves in another sticky situation two years after the first video game. It seems that they've found new friends as the character artwork shows a couple of new faces (Mei, Sven, Stan, Amy, Shannon, Corey, and Kenny). Anyway, they find a strange plant in campus and things for crazy again. We'll be seeing more of that as ObsCure II's release comes closer but in the meantime, let's settle for the screenshots, character art, and trailer. Oh, and watch out for that giant orchid... it looks a bit carnivorous to me.

Check out the screenshots and character art after the jump!

Delivered as promised! It should be remembered that Playlogic Entertainment mentioned yesterday that it will treat PlayStation Portable owners to a free demo of its space shooter Xyanide Resurrection. While the video game has been available for some time now, the demo will still be useful for those who haven't tried it yet.

The story premise of Resurrection is basically similar to that of the first Xyanide title that appeared on the original Xbox. Players take on the role of executioner Drake and try to capture destroyer of planets and civilizations Aguira. You will board a ship and will go up against enemy fighter ships created by Aguira herself using element Xyanide and her mind.

The game will have around 15 challenging levels set in four different worlds. Enemies, furthermore, are divided into 20 types and the number of bosses are around 15. The demo's for Xyanide Resurrection's level one of the full game. To be able to run the demo, your PSP unit should be running on FW 3.5.
