The word is out, from Guillermo Del Toro himself, that he has begun collaboration on a “Lovecraftian” series of horror games with THQ. Being a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan myself, this is fantastic news. If you have never read any of Lovecraft’s work, do yourself a favor and pick up one of the compilation books that are out there. There isn’t much in the way of specifics about the games available, of course, but we can expect to not see any of the games until 2013 at the earliest. Why you gotta tease a brotha’ like ‘dat, Willie? With a development cycle this long, Del Toro at the helm and great source material, I’m looking forward to something expansive, horrifying, and downright maddening. Del Toro is already set to direct a film adaptation of Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness”, so now I’m wondering if this will tie in with the film somehow. Stay tuned!
