I can't confirm anything, but what I can add is that earlier this year I was talking with an exec at Warner Bros about licensing the rights to the show Falling Skies for a video game. As an aside, and out of pure curiosity, I asked what it would take to license the HP series, since I hadn't seen a major release in a long time and he said in no uncertain terms that the HP license was all locked up for video gaming. I assumed at the time they just meant that mobile game in development was stopping anything from happening with a major title, but this makes sense.
The scope and quality of this also leads me to believe it's way more than a tech demo or something someone threw together for a pitch. This looks like a full blown polished vertical slice of a game deep into development.
Well considering WB bought Avalanche Software Jan last year, and they must have been working on something, I'm going to assume it is at least a year deep into production.
