The Conduit is a game that pretty much the entire Wii owning crowd has been keeping up with since its announcement. Its received numerous awards for its E3 showing, including #3 on WiiBlog’s Top 5 2008 E3 Moments.
The latest rumors surfacing about The Conduit is that its developer High Voltage has snagged a publisher. What publishing company is the question that remains to be answered. Frank Caron, of Ars Technica visited The Conduit Booth at PAX 2008 (lucky bastard) and had a playthrough with Rob Nicholl’s one of the game’s designers.
When Nicholls was questioned about the game’s publisher he had this to say, “We’re not ready to officially announce anything, but things are in the works. Look for the word in the coming month.”
That certainly sounds like a confirmation to me, which really isn’t a huge surprise. It’s just refreshing to hear that they finally have someone, even if they aren’t ready to release who it is yet.
Further into the article, Nicholl’s says that the development team at High Voltage has six months to work out the bugs, and have the game ready. This statement matches the expected Q1 2009 release, so that’s good news to hear as well.
As a bonus, here’s a pretty cool video I found about The Conduit’s control customization:
