Housemarque , the studio behind indie hits Resogun and Super Stardust, is working on an unannounced PC project.

The team is currently in need of game testers for an upcoming title, and the game is confirmed to be early in development according to a news update on the Nex Machina page on Steam The post includes an application form for potential game testers. If accepted, testers will need to sign a non-disclosure agreement, after which point they will receive more information about the game, and their role in any upcoming tests. Housemarque cautions applicants to "expect something other than an arcade game."Previously, Housemarque announced it would be abandoning the shoot 'em up arcade genre after poor sales for Nex Machina and Matterfall. Although Nex Machina did not sell well, IGN gave it an 8.0 , so check out the review for more on one of Housemarque's final entries in the arcade shooter genre.
