A new title from appears to have ben confirmed today, the publisher lifting the lid on This is Vegas.

Continuing the games industry's obsession with the City of Sin, the new game appears to feature lashings of decadent 'attitude' - girls, guns and overly-modded cars. The lead protagonist also appears to be about thirteen, if you've seen the announcement trailer floating around online.

What sort of a game is This is Vegas, then? Well, we're not quite sure but it looks like a wannabe, given the tone of the footage on show, the fisticuffs, the gambling, the guns and the girls. A mature title played from a third-person perspective? Quite possibly.

Update: It turns out this game has been revealed already - Midway offering us "an open world, lifestyle action experience" based around Vegas 'fantasies'.

"We are thrilled to be unveiling the first-ever videogame experience which allows players to live out their wildest Vegas fantasies," beams Alan Patmore, studio head of developer Surreal. "Whether it's partying in the hottest night clubs, in underground circuits, testing your luck at the tables or getting into a barroom brawl, This is Vegas has it all."

A release on the PS3, and this winter is promised.
