That there is Strange Brigade from Sniper Elite developer Rebellion. It's described as "a rip-roaring 1930s adventure for 1-4 players filled with pulse-pounding action, treacherous traps and tales of derring-do…"

So, do will be done. Daringly. The set up has up to four adventurers fighting against a mythological army raised by an Egyptian witch queen. The gameplay's a little unclear currently, other than being a third person shooter of some kind. There's also mention of tombs, so I'm guessing it's a kind of co-op dungeon raider with this lot being the Strange Brigade in question: 

The info mentions that each of the characters have their own weapons, tactics and superhuman powers and overall I'm getting a horde mode meets Indiana Jones style matinee adventure vibe. A sort of stand alone COD zombies thing would be cool.
