Icon: Disc Jam is the newly announced title from former "AAA developers" that have worked on franchises such as Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, and Tony Hawk. The studio, High Horse Entertainment, is making Icon: Disc Jam on Unreal Engine 4.
It essentially appears to be a modern take on Windjammers and this makes me quite happy.
The game is expected to be out on PC in early 2016. They plan on having a playable demo shown off for the first time ever at the Unreal Engine booth at IndieCade, which runs from October 22-25. You can hope for alpha access to the game by heading on over to the Icon: Disc Jam website. Alternatively, they do have a Steam Greenlight campaign underway.
