We've not heard too much from Respawn Entertainment since June, when the company released the first comically-vague image from its work-in-progress debut. Now the studio, headed by ex-Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella, has released another image from the sci-fi shooter. Clearly someone at Respawn feels that when prepping teaser images for unveiling, no amount of Gaussian Blur is too much.

Above: Let us know what the hey you think this could be. No suggestion too far-fetched

While we deduced that the studio's first teaser probably referred to the most famous image of the Loch Ness Monster, this one's subject matter is a little less discernible (which is obviously saying something). Some sort of explosion, as viewed by a glaucoma patient? A really big cake? Respawn might have some of the best talent in the business at its disposal, but if the company's not able to get this issue under control before launch, that game's first patch is going to be the most necessary software update in the history of games as we know them.
