There have been murmurs about this project for some time, but the chatter has grown louder this week, hinting that it might be nearing completion.

Over the past month, those in the know have frequently hinted that a remake would be released suddenly without prior announcement, a claim that grew stronger this week when screenshots from the project were discovered on the Virtuos website.
