Twisted Pixel (Comic Jumper, Splosion Man), has just gone and announced the studio’s next title in the form of ‘The Gunstringer’ for Xbox 360 Kinect, an action game with elements of an arcade light-gun shooter.

In the game, you play as the titular ‘The Gunstringer,’ a skeleton cowboy character that you’re able to manipulate and control with your hands, like a puppeteer, using the Kinect for motion recognition.

The theme of the game, then, is a puppet show (complete with an audience) and will include on-rails shooting sequences, both in singleplayer and a cooperative mode.

Whether or not The Gunstringer will be a downloadable title or a full retail product, but judging by Twisted Pixel’s previous titles it may be a safe bet to expect the game to release as an Xbox LIVE Arcade game.

Likewise, no release date has been announced for The Gunstringer just yet, but we can probably expect it to become available sometime later this year.

You can watch the (incredible cheeky) debut trailer for The Gunstringer below:
