When Brink was made free, someone in the thread suggested that Brink 2 could be in development. I went to Splash Damage's career page to see if that was plausible, and while I don't think they are, I did notice that they seem to be growing at an insane rate.
Afterwards, I looked for some other information, and saw the following.

Edit:
Per the post below, Leyou (Splash Damage's new owner) got a license for Transformers. I don't think Leyou has any other studios, though I could be wrong.
Edit 2:
Leyou also owns Digital Extremes (Warframe), so it's possible that Transformers is for them, but they already have a second game coming out on top of a huge overhaul of Warframe. Sorry for the mistake. Didn't realize that Sumpo Foods had renamed itself.
Afterwards, I looked for some other information, and saw the following.
Highlights:
- They seem to have at least five projects based on their jobs listings and statements:
- There's Dirty Bomb, which now has a 60+ person development team and is getting lots of new content after their acquisition by a Chinese chicken company. It's also self published these days.
- They're still working on Gears of War.
- There are at least two games with Wargaming.net (World of Tanks), with one of them being a tactical shooter.
- There's also an unannounced project in an existing IP for a mysterious publisher. They're hiring a narrative writer for the project who is expected to extend the IP's storyline. This is either a first or third person shooter. Please note that all their games are multiplayer oriented, so think about an IP that either already is (or would plausibly transition to) being online centric if you want to start guessing. [Update: It's likely Transformers based on Leyou's licensing deal.]
