A leak in SEGA's press site appears to have inadvertently confirmed them as The Conduit's publisher.

We've been waiting in anticipation for a while now for High Voltage Software to finally confirm the publisher of their graphically astounding Wii first-person shooter, The Conduit. A mix-up from Cammie Dunaway at Nintendo's Media Summit earlier this month led many to believe that Nintendo were to be publishing the title, but alas it was nothing more than a mistake.

However, an entry in SEGA's PR site appears to confirm SEGA as the publisher of The Conduit. The entry has since been removed and held no further information, but it looks like we finally know who will be bringing the highly anticipated project to us when it launches at the start of 2009.

The Conduit would join a great third-party Wii lineup from SEGA, which includes games such as Sonic Unleashed, Let's Tap, Sonic and the Black Knight, and the wonderfully gory MadWorld. Expect definite confirmation soon...

UPDATE: Great news! It's been confirmed via a press release that SEGA will indeed publish the game in America and Europe!
