Set in a sleepy American country town in the 1980s, American Fugitive is an open-world action/sandbox game that invites you to play as Will Riley.

You're no angel, but you're not a killer. Yet the cold-blooded murder of your dad is the crime they've locked you up for. Fuelled by grief and a burning desire for vengeance, you must break out of jail to find the real culprit. It's payback time.

American Fugitive is the latest creation from Fallen Tree Games, an independent studio made of AAA talented developers previously known for working on titles such as TimeSplitters, Crysis, and Goldeneye 007: Reloaded. With their latest release they are looking to establish a new era in the sandbox game genre.

Through the fast-paced gameplay the player will discover the joy of top-down carnage with stunning 3D graphics and destructible environments, dramatic storytelling and epic car-chase mayhem.

"We're absolutely thrilled to announce our latest game to the world!” said Lewis Boadle, Art Director at Fallen Tree Games when asked about American Fugitive, “The project began life several years ago as an idea that just refused to go away: What would it be like to be on the run? Part open-world sandbox, part 80’s on-the-run thriller… ALL action! It's a much larger vision than anything we've tackled before as a small indie team, but thankfully Curve Digital have proved to be the ideal publishing partner. We can’t wait to bust American Fugitive out of its cell and into the hands of gamers."
