Atari Germany Signs 'Scorpion' - 12 New Screens

by Rainier on Aug. 28, 2008 @ 6:54 p.m. PDT

Set in the near future, terrorists and gangs control most of the cities inhabited with innocent and defenseless citizens. What makes it even worse is a nano-virus acquired by criminals and questioning survival of mankind. You are Scorpion, an operative tasked to exterminate a dangerous virus and save people.

You've never been averse to the odd well-timed execution. So long as it was strictly necessary, anyway. And in your line of work necessary killings are your bread and butter. As an undercover field officer for the ICTS it's your job to infiltrate and sometimes cut the head off a conglomerate. Ugly beasts they can be too, should they step out of line.

Take this next mission, for example, the Zenith Corporation, a phoenix made up of the survivors from the ashes of the Sudan incident in the early 2030's. There's something rotten at the core. Based in the Free Commerce Area of Zagreb they are completely out of governmental control.

We need you to get inside and find out what's going on. We don't know what they're up to or what they're planning, so we need you to work your way inside and open them up to us from there. You'll have our support, but should they find out you're not who you say you are we can't get you out. The usual drill.

Key Features:

  • Intense action on a cyberpunk-styled planet Earth, circa 2028.
  • Involving, futuristic storyline told through compelling cut scenes.
  • A combination of first-person combat and stealth elements providing a unique, visceral gaming experience
  • An impressive arsenal of upgradeable weapons
  • Evolve your character with a powerful array of paranormal psychic powers, including the ability to subdue the will of your enemy.
  • An advanced, squad-oriented, combat AI creating a strong, challenging opposition to keep you on your toes.
  • Combat elite opponents possessing supernatural powers similar to those of the your agent.
  • Cutting-edge game engine capable of producing a realistic, futuristic cyberpunk world.

Scorpion, previously known as Showdown: Scorpion, is under development at B-COOL Interactive, and currently scheduled for Q4 2008
