Remastered Version of Bulletstorm Gets Listed in Brazil

Maybe we'll get a formal announcement now?

During this year's E3, a number of sites got a thumb drive loaded up with assets for a variety of Microsoft titles and discovered a folder on there called "Bulletstorm Remaster". No formal announcement was made about this and neither Microsoft nor the developer, People Can Fly, confirmed anything. A few days ago, a listing for Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition appeared on a Brazilian ratings site, so it looks like the title will be coming sometime in 2017.

Other than the platforms (PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One) and slated release date of 2017, there's not too much else to go on here. As many sites have noted, the publisher has been changed from EA to Gearbox, but it's hard to tell what that might mean for the game. They Borderlands developer may be responsible for putting some polish on the title and ensuring that it works with modern consoles, or they could just be taking over for EA because they have the bandwidth to do so. Regardless, it'd be nice for Microsoft, People Can Fly, or Gearbox to just come out and say something at this point. The title really can't be considered a "secret" at this point, so getting out there to confirm and get the hype train rolling would be better than just ignoring it.

The original Bulletstorm supported four player online co-op in the Anarchy mode, where players work together to survive waves of enemies and try to achieve a certain score. Until we hear more, we're assuming the remastered version will include the same mode.
