XBLA: Axel & Pixel Heading To XBLA?

2kcze.jpgIt appears that 2K Games are further attempting to get into the realm of digital downloads - but instead of dealing with sport games they're planning on... a point and click adventure?

Both the ESRB and OFLC rating boards have updated with the game being present. The ESRB describes the game as a game where players "guide an artist and his dog through surreal and abstract environments". Players will solve puzzles by using objects, such as mirrors and rocks, to continue through the game.

The game is being developed by 2K CZECH, who are currently hard at work on Mafia II. The OFLC states the game is being developed by Silver Wish Games, a studio which was a part of the 2K buyout of Illusion Softworks, who are now 2K Czech.

[Update: 2K Czech have revealed that Silver Wish Games are an internal studio in Czech, but are not the developers of Mafia II]

Nothing else is known currently - but the premise is at least promising. Look for more information in the future.
