We first heard about third-person action title Eight Days back at E3 2006, and we learn this week that Sony are beginning to really push the development of this potential hit.

The Guardian were given a tour of Sony London, during which the game's progress was confirmed: "Moving up from floor to floor, we see Eight Days - which is just ramping up to full production. To get an idea of the scale of development required on next-gen consoles, the team, currently numbering 63, will expand to about 80 with a further 40 or so outsourced workers.

"A small team is working on pre-production for the next iteration of The Getaway, in preparation for being joined by the bulk of the Eight Days team when the latter is completed."

The game appears to offer driving and shooting segments, and an early trailer implies a highly cinematic offering. We're also told pre-production on The Getaway PS3 is also swinging into top-gear.

More as we get it.
