Square Enix to Reveal Western-Developed Title Next Month?

According to One Last Continue, UK's Official PlayStation Magazine has the lowdown on the first title coming out of Square Enix's recently opened North American studio in California.

We are already aware that the Japanese RPG megacorp has been looking to expand to North American gamers for some time now, and to that end has opened a studio in the USA in an attempt to develop games for the West in the West.

The original target platform the studio had been hiring for was the Xbox 360. However, since this news is coming from a PlayStation magazine, it is reasonable to believe the game will be on both, especially considering Square Enix's recent licensing of Gamebryo (the multiplatform engine that was recently used to build Bethesda's Fallout 3).

OPM has a teaser screenshot in this month's issue showing what could possibly be an in-game screen.

...I have to say that I'm a little worried. Gamebryo is not known for its, er, stability (as a lot of Fallout 3 owners can likely testify), and if that screen is anything to go by, the graphics look rather terrible.

I'm hoping to be proven wrong next month.
