March 22, 2010 - According to Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter's latest investor note sent out this morning, Electronic Arts and developer Visceral Games (Dead Space, Dante's Inferno) will release a new game based on the infamous 19th century serial killer Jack the Ripper.
Pachter's report confirms rumors that surfaced last October when trademark registrations for "The Ripper" were discovered online. This new game will reportedly be a download-only title for PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE. No other details were given in Pachter's report.
Given that The Ripper is a download title, we should assume this is a small title with a significantly smaller development team. With Dead Space 2 set for release in early 2011, it's possible EA could release the game sometime this year.
