Independent developer The Behemoth has released a brand new teaser trailer for its upcoming mystery game, only known by its codename, Game 4, so far.

The title is the latest project of the studio behind such indie darlings as Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater, and the delivery in the trailer is the same humorous and over-the-top one that The Behemoth has accustomed us to.

"Shortly before the release of BattleBlock Theater we started working on something new. We schemed up a bunch of concepts and picked our strongest one. From there we fleshed out the lone survivor prototype," the announcement from The Behemoth reads.

"This game is of a genre we haven't covered before and seek to breathe a new flavor into. Maybe you can find a hint in the video below about which genre it is," it goes on to hint, suggesting that Game 4 might set itself up to be a contender for Firaxis' upcoming Civilization: Beyond Earth's crown of the turn-based strategy genre.

For the time being, the developer is holding back on specific details regarding the upcoming game, only confirming that Game 4 will be playable at PAX Prime, taking place in Seattle, Washington, from August 29 through September 1, in order to help "steer the process" with the help of the participating crowd.
