While Silicon Knights continues to divide its forces amidst the long-in-development Too Human and the legal mosh pit that is its relationship with Epic Games, the company has apparently marshaled decent energy to start work on another game, as both it and fellow Canadian dev Digital Extremes have been given a combined $1 million in funding to start work on a pair of development projects. The investment, awarded by the Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC), serves as part of the agency’s Video Game Prototype Initiative, which looks to help companies

create prototypes of video game concepts in order to attract potential publishers.

While Pariah dev Digital Extreme’s game is described as a third-person “old school” horror game for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, Silicon Knights, which recently expanded its Canadian ops, is apparently using the funds for something a bit farther out, promising a third person action/psychological thriller for release sometime in 2010 for unspecified “next-generation systems” — which by that duration may actually be an accurate moniker.
