The new first-person shooter coming from Codemasters Guildford and former Black designer Stuart Black is titled Bodycount.

While it has been known that Black was working on a game for Codemasters, no details had been revealed until today. A news story intended to run with the newest issue of OXM UK, which includes a cover-story on the game, gave us the game's title. That post has since been removed, but not before being cached by Google. (Thanks, Destructoid!)

Details are light, but OXM referred to Bodycount as a "spectacular and frankly mental" FPS, noting "if you like shooting guns in games you are going to really, really love it."

Black, developed by Burnout veterans Criterion and released in 2006, looked exceptional for running on PlayStation 2 and Xbox hardware, but was mostly forgotten with the release of the Xbox 360. No platforms for Bodycount have been confirmed, though an Xbox 360 version is assured, given its appearance in the UK's Official Xbox Magazine.

I can't wait.

I'm excited! Black was a fun game and I was hoping for a current-gen sequel. Looks like we're getting it!

I hope this comes out good...which it should.

I remember playing BLACK on the PS2...what a fabulous game...and the graphics I thought were pretty damn nifty for the platform considering its limitations.

Hollywood style action game all about guns and destruction...on next gen...sign me up!!!

I remember seeing (which I had up on my wall for some reason, took it down by now) the cover of Official Playstation Magazine- "BLACK- The LAST good PS2 game?"
