Director Guillermo del Toro, who is currently working with THQ and Volition on horror video game inSANE, has talked about the project with MTV Multiplayer, revealing that it’s still years from completion.

“We’ve been working for a year. We have two or three more years to go. It’s huge,” said del Toro. “I’m learning a lot. I’m going in with a really, really modest ‘I’m learning’ approach. I’m a huge gamer but going into constructing it, you have to be respectful of the medium. I’m learning a lot. Talking about the storyline for weeks. We’ve been designing the creatures, which are obscenely fun and unique. You haven’t seen them ever.”

According to del Toro the game is set in a sandbox game world and Lovecraftian in tone.

“It’s Lovecraftian, it’s really weird, but it’s Lovecraftian in a very sick way, which I like. It’s truly, truly entertaining. Full of action, but also a very shocking game. And Guy Davis and Francisco [Ruis Velasco]. Guy Davis, to me, is one of the best monster designers alive right now.”

Developer Volition is currently putting the finishing touches to Saints Row: The Third and will continue to support it for a year after launch.
