David Jaffe has named his new studio The Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency, and confirmed that a publisher has signed its new game.

Jaffe, known to gamers as the creator of Twisted Metal and God of War, made the announcement in a tongue-in-cheek profile piece on Polygon. In it, the developer spins a tale about assisting the eponymous supernatural detective Bartlet Jones on some of his assignments and investigations.

Jaffe also confirmed that the studio’s first unannounced title has been signed to a publisher.

The last game Jaffe worked on was a reboot of Twisted Metal that was released early last year to generally favourable reviews.
