It's Murdered: Soul Suspect. VG247 got SE to confirm.

Square-Enix just sent VG247 an email to confirm the name of the game. Here’s what they said: “Murdered: Soul Suspect is an exciting new game from Square Enix which challenges players to solve possibly the hardest case of all”

Murdered.com/evidence. Password is Ronan.

O’Connor, male, mid- 30s, 170lbs, 5’ 11” Detectives aren’t supposed to get bloody knuckles, but I’ve done a lot of things I wasn’t supposed to do. I lived through it all, the beat-downs, the back-stabbing, disrespect most people wouldn’t see in ten lifetimes and I never lost a fight… until now.

Square Enix is teasing something. The publisher sent out e-mails today titled “What is the hardest case to solve?”, which contains the following image: The e-mail comes from Square Enix Members, and a reply-to e-mail is listed as ronan@murdered.com. Visit Murdered.com, and you’ll see the image atop this story, a Twitter link, and a “Legals” section. Hover your mouse over the latter, and you’ll see that whatever this is, it’s for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Wii U

:(

[sublimit]

SE can't even tease my tit anymore.

[JordanLMiller]

It's probably Versus XIII

[RustyNails]

The hardest case to solve is FF Versus 13.

[Opus Angelorum]

Murdered the new codename for Square Enix?

[Nibel]

Is this about Toriyama killing the Final Fantasy franchise

[SpaceBridge]

Murdered? Uhm, VSXIII maybe?

[Avallon]

Hopefully this goes over better than their Hitman Facebook stunt.

[darkside31337]

Well at least the Wii U isn't getting murdered.

This is clearly a teaser for Versus.

[salromano]

Images.

Edit: Crap. OP updated.

I like this teaser theme. They could really be creative with this. Starting from Monday, they should update the site daily to include another S-E franchise which has been "murdered" - with the name of the IP appearing crossed out on a notepad list. I'm sure fans would love the teaser campaign!

[Ingueferroque]

What is with all the Wii-U port begging in every game announcement thread?

[jorgeton]

Is this Wada's manifesto on how he's murdered any shred of respect SE once commanded?

[lunchwithyuzo]

Nameless Game HD?

[duckroll]

What is with all the Wii-U port begging in every game announcement thread?

It's a reflection of how desperate and pathetic the supporters of the system have become? :)

[Lord-Audie]

What is with all the Wii-U port begging in every game announcement thread?

Same with the vita.

We feed on hope.

[Simousse]

From Eidos according to the code source, so THI4F maybe? Or another Hitman. Or Bloodmasque.

Bloodmasque was a S-E Japan registration though.

Did you see the Wii U lineup?

Also a new current gen game? I hope they plan to release it this year...

[RyoonZ]

Maybe it's this.

Well, it's for PS360 so it can't be that bad.

[Gadirok]

survival horror, looks like it.

[1st Course]

Looks like Thief 4.

[jonno394]

I'm guessing it's a Hitman spinoff...

[batbeg]

What is with all the Wii-U port begging in every game announcement thread?

Why would people not want a game that is releasing on comparable hardware? I don't see it so much as begging as lamenting even at this point multiplatform titles aren't showing up on it, which is pretty significant.

I don't think that's exclusive to just Wii U, almost everyone does that in some form or fashion.

[Simousse]

Bloodmasque was a S-E Japan registration though.

Oh yeah right.

[Nibel]

That's pretty harsh

[duckroll]

That's pretty harsh

But accurate.

[Macstorm]

Bloodmasque was a S-E Japan registration though.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you mean.

[SpaceBridge]

Something for iOS. Maybe a port of that DS horror game...

[Mael]

A console game by Square Enix?
I'll pass thank you very much.

But accurate.

Hey don't put everyone of us in the same bag as the people begging for scraps of crap games.

[Alex]

Something for iOS. Maybe a port of that DS horror game...

The image says 360/PS3/PC, though.

[ekim]

Looks like a birch tree

[Mario007]

Square did trademark a title along the lines "Murder Mysteries" or something like that not too long ago.

[airmangataosenai]

Looks like a western title. I always have to keep that in mind when I see Square Enix now.

[pargonta]

so, the first one is a chalk symbol on a sidewalk next to puddles with the reflection of a building, and the other pictures look like a downed tree trunk with a carving the same as the chalk.

mystery!

[duckroll]

Bloodmasque has been trademarked in NA, too.

Yes but it's registered by S-E Japan. Eidos games are not.

is it bad that this is EXACTLY what I was thinking too

Day 1: Front Mission

[Relaxed Muscle]

Maybe it's this. http://www.siliconera.com/2012/05/10...save-his-love/ Well, it's for PS360 so it can't be that bad.

That sounds like fanfic, so videogame writing standard quality, although I don't really see the connection between the teaser and that.

[daveo42]

PC release? Looks like it's something other than VsXIII.

[djtiesto]

Looks like a western title. I always have to keep that in mind when I see Square Enix now.

Hey now, it could be a mobile/browser game too!

Notice the evidence tags

[Toth]

Mystery revolving around 3 crows. I'm calling it.

[liquidtmd]

They murdered Versus and now are effectively doing a Weekend At Bernies with the corpse as not to annoy the fanbase?

This site first step at breaking the news am confirmed

[Y2Kev]

They made a game about Yasumi Matsuno?

[shagg_187]

It's an Eidos game.
