2K Games appears to have another remake in the works. The publisher already has several major projects under development, including new entries in the Bioshock, Borderlands, and Mafia franchises.
However, recent hints suggest that a beloved title from the past might be getting the remake treatment, with Spec Ops: The Line being a strong contender.
Brett Shupe, a 3D artist at 2K, revealed on his LinkedIn profile that the company is working on more than one unannounced title.
Among these are a sports game, a remake, and another undisclosed project. While the exact identity of the remake remains a mystery, Spec Ops: The Line is a leading candidate.
Spec Ops: The Line was recently delisted from online storefronts, which 2K attributed to licensing issues. However, this move has fueled speculation that a remake might be on the horizon. The timing of the delisting suggests that 2K could be preparing to reintroduce the game in a revamped form.
Creative director Cory Davis previously hinted at a potential re-release, noting that several people at 2K were interested in revisiting the IP.
This adds weight to the rumors, as industry insiders often drop subtle clues about future projects. Given the critical acclaim and enduring popularity of Spec Ops: The Line, it makes sense for 2K to consider remaking it for a new generation of gamers.
