What are Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey, former Visceral/Electronic Arts devs who worked on Dead Space, doing for Activision? Well, they’re starting their own game studio, of course.

We already knew that, but now we’ve a name — Sledgehammer Games. That’s… a name, for sure. The team is already hard at work on a game, but obviously not saying much other than that “the titles needs the support of a strong publisher to make the game a success.” A strong publisher like Activision, of course.

Yep, the box art for BioShock 2 sure does look similar in style and substance to the first ga–whoa. Now wait just a minute! What … what is that? Look to the left of the Tiny Sister’s head! What’s that thing?

After asking around the office, here’s what we were able to establish as possibilities:

• A ghost
• An alien
• More specifically, an underwater alien thing from James Cameron’s The Abyss
• The Creature from the Black Lagoon
• “That meme with the Asian dude holding out his hand and then crushing whatever was in it”
• Fish (pfft, yeah right)

What do you make of this, Destructoid community?
