Can you believe it? There's another Painkiller game in the works. Yep, IGN has the first word on Painkiller: Resurrection, the third stand alone title in the wild and woolly first person shooter series. Publisher JoWood/Dreamcatcher Games have recruited the previously unknown developer Homegrown Games to create this installment which is due out late in 2009.

This new game willl apparently have more of an actual single player storyline than the first two games in the series as you play the role of a CIA assassin who is thrown into the battle between Heaven and Hell. Expect to see lots of enemies to take on, an enhanced version of the Painkiller engine and multiplayer modes. Oh, and for the first time in a Painkiller game there will be a two player co-op campaign.
