The first game created by Peter Molyneux since his departure from Lionhead is apparently undergoing a name-change thanks to NASA.
The project, called Curiosity, is being developed by Molyneux's new studio 22 Cans and was recently delayed until next month.
Due to NASA and the Martians we are wondering what we should officially name our first experiment Curiosity...
But it appears Curiosity will never be released, at least not titled as it is, due to the Washington-based NASA being uncomfortable with the game sharing a name with its Mars Rover.
Taking to his Twitter account, Molyneux asked fans for help, writing "Humm there is a problem the the name curiosity, we can't use it because of NASA. I wonder what one word would sum up curiosity:the cube."
The news appeared to be verified when the 22 Cans account posted a similar question, sharing "Due to NASA and the Martians we are wondering what we should officially name our first experiment Curiosity..."
There's already a wealth of suggestions out there, including Cuberosity, but there's still time to share your ideas.
Due out next month, Curiosity will launch on PC, iOS and Android platforms. The game is planned as a social experiment which revolves around breaking apart a giant black cube with the help of thousands of gamers worldwide.
Luke Karmali is IGN's UK Editorial Assistant and would quite like Molyneux to knuckle down on Black & White 3. You too can revel in mediocrity by following him on IGN and on Twitter.
