More assets are trickling in from Blade Interactive for their very intriguing Hydrophobia (Xbox 360, PS3 and PC) title. But while the released screenshots, artwork and trailers only add up to our anticipation, it looks like we'll have to wade a little bit more before we get it in our hands.

It seems that Hydrophobia is slowly but surely surfacing from the dev studios at Blade Interactive. We just got an email from managing director Blade Interactive managing director">Pete Jones, confirming that they've finally got a version of Hydrophobia up and running. We're currently in the talks for scoring an exclusive interview, so watch out for that in the near future!

See the thumbnail to your left? No, that's not Force Unleashed. That's Hydrophobia. "Wait, since when did Hydrophobia have psycho-kinetic powers?" Well, consider me equally floored too. Let's see if we can make head or tail in this latest batch of screens and artwork, shall we?

Hydrophobia is set in the Queen of the World ocean liner. Ever wondered how huge the playing area would be? Get this: 1.5 kilometers long, half a kilometer wide, and six decks deep. That's huge compared to the Titanic. But... is this big enough to be a sandbox game like Grand Theft Auto? Not so fast, bub. Time to dive into an interview for all the juicy details!

Apparently, Hydrophobia really does hold some frakkin' water! And it's looking gorgeous enough to make your eyes bleed. Guess I was right on the money - Hydrophobia is anything but vaporware now, and we've got the assets (screens and a teaser trailer, woohoo!) to prove it! If you weren't convinced with the screens from last year, then now's the time to hop on the Hydro Engine ship before it sails away. And to think: all that water's rendered in-game!

With a game hardly getting any updates at all, one has to ask: has it become vaporware already, cast into the depths of other shelved titles? Well, announced back in early 2007, Hydrophobia seemed to generate quite an interest among the people in the video games industry, but ever since then, we've yet to hear anything about the game's development. Is Hydrophobia still breathing? Let's hope so. Dive into the full article to get your hands wet with details.

Today we've got a whole load of new screenshots from Hydrophobia, Blade Interactive's upcoming title for the Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox360 video game consoles.

Hydrophobia is a horror/survival title built from the ground up to take full advantage of HydroEngine, a fluid dynamics engine that Blade R&D developed over the last three years. HydroEngine provides truly dynamic water whose behaviour is altered by every physical action and event in the game; meaning you will never get the same behaviour twice.

"From the outset we wanted to create a robust & unique next generation game that will remain a benchmark for decades," said Deborah Jones, Joint Managing Director of Blade Interactive. "It is a combination of the industry's best talents combined with awesome technology never seen in video games."
