NaturalMotion, the chaps currently working on 505 Games’Backbreaker, has filed a trademark for a similarly titled game —Icebreaker Hockey. So far, all we know is that NaturalMotion has reserved the name. There’s no guarantee that it’s making the game right now, but with a title likeIcebreaker, who could refuse?
Backbreakerhasn’t been released yet, but it caught people’s eye thanks to its focus on the Euphoria Engine and the dynamic physical interactions. As far as I can tell, the game’s based around trying to hurt football players in a variety of nasty ways. Hence the name, obviously. The game is slated for May of this year.
Hopefully we can look forward to a snooker game in the near future.Ballbreakerhas quite a ring to it, I think.
