THQ Inc. today announced plans to unveil the first playable version of the highly anticipated Full Spectrum Warrior for the Xbox videogame system from Microsoft at Microsoft's annual Xbox gaming event, X03. Developed by Pandemic Studios, Full Spectrum Warrior is an original tactical-action military game scheduled for release in early 2004.
