Spyjinx

A new game titled Spyjinx has been announced from the people who brought us Infinity Blade, Star Wars, and Star Trek. Here's what’s known for Spyjinx

As if the film industry wasn't enough, J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot have made the announcement that they are making a game called Spyjinx. Of course they are not making it on their own but teaming up with ChAIR of Infinity Blade fame to do this. Not only that but it looks like Spyjinx is going to be something that is far and away from the traditional game as much as they can get it so that it will stand on its own when it hits the PC and mobile devices sometime next year. Thankfully it is Spyjinx and not a film tie-in for his latest projects right?

Sadly at this point there is little to nothing known about Spyjinx outside of the above. The co-founder of ChAIR and Abrams did sit down to announce Spyjinx in the following video but outside of the game being a "unique mix of action strategy gameplay, dynamic world building and RPG character development," there is nothing else to say. Well, unless you count the most obvious fact that Spyjinx is being developed on the Unreal 4 engine but given the parent companies here that should have been a true given. It's not like the developer hasn't used it before…

Of course with a name like Spyjinx we can speculate on what the game will be about and how all of those elements listed above will blend in. To be honest I think of the Dicknanigans sketch from Key & Peele when I hear the name so I may want to take a back seat on the speculation game. Although one could imagine a game going along those lines. Hopefully Spyjinx won't be among that. I'm sure it won't given the names and teams involved in its creation. We'll just have to wait and see.

What are your thoughts on Spyjinx though? Do you think this will be an amazing game filled with lens flares or just another example on why the film and game industries should stay separate? What do you think Spyjinxwill be about? Will there be Dicknanigans? Let us know and feel free to discuss in the comment section below. I am sure that we will have more on Spyjinx as we press into the release year for the game so be sure to keep checking back in for all of that as we get it here.
