More FPS action coming to the Wii, or perhaps Wii U?

High Voltage Software has revealed that another instalment in the Conduit series is on its way.

Answering fan questions on the GameFAQs message boards, a company representative had this to say:

We haven't forgotten about Conduit over here...I would expect some new Conduit-related news before the year is out.

The Conduit launched on the Wii back in 2009. We deemed it "solid FPS experience for Wii owners." Conduit 2 followed in 2011, which we thought was "mess of undercooked ideas and impotent execution." Oh dear.

Interesting, the topic of High Voltage Software's long-delayed titles The Grinder and Animales de la Muerte (bet you've forgotten about those, right?) also cropped up:

Question: What about some original HVS games I've heard about, like The Grinder [and] Animales de la Muerte?

Answer: As usual, there are things we're not ready to talk about...but you may be pleased to know our strategy moving forward calls for a greater proportion of original IP games.
