Wie die Black Lion Studios heute ankündigten, arbeitet das Team gerade an einem neuen Taktik-Shooter für die Xbox 360 und den PC, mit dem Namen Shadow Harvest.
In dem Spiel habt ihr die Wahl zwischen zwei verschiedenen Charakteren, die sich spielerisch grundlegend unterscheiden. Während die ISA Agentin Myra Lee sich eher auf Stealth-Methoden à la Sam Fisher spezialisiert hat, ist Aron Alvarez aus der US Army Delta Force dagegen der Nahkampf- und Waffenspezialist aus diesem gefährlichen Duo. Zeitpunkt der Ereignisse wird das Jahr 2025 sein.
Die ersten ingame Bilder sind in unserer Galerie zu begutachten.
Erscheinen soll Shadow Harvest im Frühling 2009.
Pressemitteilung:
[quote=Black Lion Studios]Shadow Harvest is a highly immersive 3rd-person tactical action game set in the year 2025 on various current and future points of conflict around the globe. The game is in development for PC and XBOX 360. Featuring dual character control, amazingly realistic graphics and a refreshingly different storyline, Shadow Harvest is a completely new interpretation of the tactical-action genre. Being an ISA* agent, the first character, Myra Lee, has a background in espionage and stealth operations, while the other character, Aron Alvarez, is a hard-boiled close combat specialist of US Army's Delta Force. Both characters are deployed as elite black-ops agents on various hot spots worldwide and behind enemy lines to cooperatively complete covert operations.
To optimally achieve all mission goals, the player needs to combine Myra's stealth skills, athletic abilities and cleverness with Aron's blunt open battle approach. In many situations the nail biting about whether to go in hot with guns blazing or to use suppression techniques and alternative paths is up to the player. Thanks to its open level design with multi-paths and optional secondary objectives, Shadow Harvest also offers great replayability
With Myra and Aron having a different style, a totally different approach on combat tactics and (obviously) a different gender, one big focus of the game are the witty yet snorty dialogues between the two agents.
Despite its highly detailled and realistic look, Shadow Harvest does not strive to be a hardcore military sim nor does it want to be just another dual-character-shooter. Featuring real stealth and action-adventure elements, its refreshingly new mix of features allows never before seen possibilities in interactive storytelling and lets the player dive into a highly thrilling storyline in an unforgettable immersive and unique gaming experience.[/quote]
