Capcom teases Panta Rhei engine and Deep Down at PS4 press conference

At Sony's PlayStation 4 reveal earlier today, Capcom announced a new game engine named Panta Rhei and a game tentatively titled Deep Down. As Capcom has a history of porting its games to PC, and the PlayStation 4 is essentially a custom PC , we can probably expect to see the fantasy action game come our way.

We don't know much about the game, other than it's of the third-person action variety (a dungeon crawler?), it looks very pretty, and there is a very big dragon. We also know that the PS4 is releasing during the holidays this year, and if Deep Down (or whatever it ends up being called) is a launch game, we might also have it this year or, more likely, early 2014.

This may also apply to the other games demoed at the press conference, including Destiny , though we still haven't confirmed PC for the latter.
