Just weeks after they announced that they would not be publishing Tomonobu Itagaki and Valhalla Studio's Devil's Third, THQ has confirmed that another in-the-works title has been given the axe.

That title is InSane, a horror game collaboration between Saints Row developer Volition and film director Guillermo Del Toro (you may know him as the director of Pan's Labyrinth and the Hellboy movies). The news was announced by THQ chief Jason Rubin at the publisher's Q1 2013 earnings call, where he revealed that pre-production on the game had ceased and that all rights had been returned to Del Toro.

Originally revealed in late 2010, little was revealed for the project aside that it would release sometime in 2013 and would be the first part of a trilogy. The only bit of news outside the initial announcement came from Danny Bilson, who said that the game was "absolutely action-packed". That was in February 2011.

Were any of you looking forward to InSane? Let us know in the comment box below.
