Front Mission Evolved Is Being Made By Double Helix

Just like we sleuthed, Square Enix has a new Front Mission game. Unexpectedly, Front Mission Evolved isn’t being made in Japan. Double Helix, the team that developed Silent Hill: Homecoming, is working on the project. This makes Front Mission the first Square Enix owned property outsourced to a Western developer.

Also, this game isn’t a strategy RPG. Front Mission Evolved is a third person shooter where players pilot wanzers (read: customizable mechs) in single player missions and online. Sounds like MechWarrior set in the Front Mission universe.

Front Mission Evolved is slated for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
