The first game is still years away and already publisher THQ are talking trilogies for Guillermo del Toro’s new distorted horror tale, InSANE. (Note the type-face, another bloody “in” game we’re going to constantly cock up when typing for the next three years.)
Announcing a “transmedia” endeavour, THQ will work closely with the acclaimed director on three games as well as other “surrounding” projects. Guillermo del Toro will act as the games’ external creative director with THQ Executive Vice President Danny Bilson, THQ Director of Fiction Development Paul DeMeo and THQ studio Volition on the upcoming trilogy. Bilson stated:
“THQ is committed to creating great games by identifying the world’s most talented artists and providing them with the creative support to design innovative game play experiences.
“Guillermo is not only an incredibly gifted writer and film director, but also an avid gamer, and we are excited to bring his talents to our medium. We are confident his unique point of view will create visually stunning adventures, filled with rich and rewarding game play.”
del Toro added:
“With this new series of videogames, I want to take players to a place they have never seen before, where every single action makes them question their own senses of morality and reality.
“THQ and Volition, Inc. are equally excited to make this vision of a completely new game universe into a reality.”
THQ will own the intellectual property rights to the InSANE trilogy, while del Toro will retain the rights to any filmed entertainment products.

It stenches of vapourware and will most probably never see the day.
The trailer points to that
The name points to that
The announcement of a trilogy is characteristic of future failures.
This so obviously a scam.
