Publisher Red Mile Entertainment has revealed that its comic-inspired Sin City game, announced in 2007, is planned for release between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012.

Of course, that's assuming the publisher can secure enough funding to stay open, with the company stressing its need for "sufficient funds to continue operations." Currently, the company has $341,000 in cash, which it expects to last until March 31, 2009.

In order to stay open for the next two to three years, and thus release both Sin City and Heroes Over Europe, Red Mile estimates it will need an advance of $10 million. At present, it is seeking a co-publishing agreement for help with funding Sin City.

Since its current fiscal year began on April 1, 2008, Red Mile has lost $2.26 million, with Atari recently backing out of a co-publishing agreement for Heroes Over Europe. Red Mile is now considering "all remedies" against Atari, including compensatory damages.

Due to Atari's withdrawal, Red Mile has delayed its payments to Heroes Over Europe (PC, PS3, 360) developer Transmission. The company expects to ship Heroes Over Europe between April 1, 2009 and March 31, 2010, assuming it can make payments.

The upcoming game inspired by Frank Miller's beloved Sin City graphic novels is no longer being developed by Transmission Games, publisher Red Mile has revealed.

The Unreal Engine 3-powered title actually shifted development houses "quite a long time ago," a Red Mile representative informed GameSpot, though they offered no details on the current developer. "Transmission is focusing on Heroes Over Europe, which is quite an important title for us."

Formerly known as IR Gurus, Tranmission has helmed such titles as Lucinda Green's Equestrian Challenge (PC, PS2), Heroes of the Pacific (PC, PS2, Xbox) and Heatseeker (PS2, Wii, PSP). Its latest flight action game, Heroes Over Europe, is slated to hit PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next year.

Few details on the Sin City game have surfaced since its initial announcement last May. The use of Unreal Engine 3 suggests PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 editions are likely, though reports have since indicated the title may also hit Wii, but not PC, by Christmas 2009.

Red Mile Entertainment today announced it is licensing Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 for use in its upcoming Sin City video game adaptation.

Sin City the game will be based on the popular comic series by Frank Miller, rather than the recent Hollywood film. No release dates or platforms have been announced, though based on this news, PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 releases are possible.

"The Red Mile team has impressed me with its dedication to creating Sin City video games that will remain true to Sin City as I've always seen it," said Miller (pictured left) in May.

Red Mile Entertainment has licensed the rights to bring the popular Sin City graphic novels created by Frank Miller (pictured left) into the interactive realm. Miller first began the Dark Horse Comics-published series in 1991, which has since spawned seven different paperback collections and a feature film, directed by Robert Rodriguez and starring Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba, among others. Red Mile's licensing agreement only pertains to Miller's line of graphic novels, not the film adaptation.
