–ORIGINAL POST–

Microsoft have outlined their PAX line-up and there’s something rather strange, yet interesting hiding amongst the details. Major Nelson, while posting the news on his blog, posted something named “Toy Soldiers: Cold War”. The game has yet to be revealed officially so whether it’s a DLC pack coming, or possibly even a stand alone game – we can’t say. Here’s the details that were posted:

“Toy Soldiers: Cold War – The Cold War is decided when ‘80s era action toys come alive and wage war! “Toy Soldiers: Cold War” blends intense first person combat with addictive action strategy, whether you’re scrapping solo or jumping into the fray with friends”.

We’ll see what we can dig up.
