“With its tremendous franchise potential, Majesco is refraining from revealing too much detail about Black9 at this point in time,” said Ken Gold, Vice President of Marketing for Majesco. “An engrossing storyline, coupled with tactical, mission-based game play and streamlined RPG-style skill development, promise to make Black9 a standout product for 2003.”
PC
Black9 is being developed on the acclaimed Unreal Warfare engine with support of MathEngine’s Karma physics. Set in a third-person perspective, players are equipped with hi-tech gadgetry, weapons, and cybernetics, and can acquire specific abilities through their game play experience. Broadband multi-player support and cooperative play is also planned across both platforms.
Additional platforms for Black9 are also under consideration by Majesco and will be announced at a later date.
