Syphon Filter 4 Release Date Set for Winter 2012

Syphon Filter 4 exclusively for PlayStation 3 is in development say rumors, and it will be an all-new entry in the long-running stealth action series.

And no, Syphon Filter 4 does NOT refer to Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain.

The rumor comes from Italy’s Official PlayStation Magazine and says the game will be released next Winter; Winter 2012.

This follows the fact that the logo of the game was accidentally posted during E3 2011, before it was promptly removed. That post revealed that the game was in development by Sony Bend using a new engine by SCE London.

A previous rumor talking about “Syphon Filter 5” has previously revealed that PCB Productions was working on facial motion capture for the game. Which was probably actually this Spyhon Filter 4 product.

Making things ever more confusing is the fact that Sony registered a ton of Syphon Filter-related domain names including: SyphonFilter-Game.com, SyphonFilterAgency.com, SyphonFilterCommand.com, SyphonFilterHq.com and SyphonFilterOps.com.

More will likely be revealed at the Tokyo Game Show 2011 next week.
