Codemasters & Blue Omega Entertainment har valgt dagen i dag til at præsentere en “ny franchise” som de så elegant formulerer det. Damnation er titlen på hvad de to firmaer selv vil kalde en “shooter gone vertical” (ikke en vertical shooter), men pressemeddelelsen synes ikke rigtig at give nogen forståelig forklaring på lige netop den definition. Damnation byder også på multiplayer-mulighed, hvilket heller ikke er præciseret. Spillet vil efter planen udkomme “sent i 2008” til PC, Xbox 360 samt PlayStation 3. Vi har herunder vedhæftet de første fire screenshots.


Tuesday, 6th March 2008 – 2pm UK – Codemasters®, a leading video game publisher, and US creative studio Blue Omega Entertainment today announced Damnation™, a new videogame franchise set to come leaping onto the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Games for Windows® this winter.

Evolving the shooter genre with its unique and exhilarating combination of fluid action and combat, Damnation will feature huge, open environments, frenetic combat, daredevil acrobatics and high-octane vehicle-based stunts. Presenting players with an intense test of reflexes, quick thinking and rapid-fire conflict, Damnation will feature vast, breathtaking landscapes, each covering miles of distance and thousands of vertical feet.

Billed as a ‘shooter gone vertical’ and visually inspired by iconic elements of American history, these massive streaming landscapes will form the battlegrounds for a post-industrial conflict between humanity and an unstoppable arms dealer hell-bent on total world domination.



Players will be able to choose their own paths and navigate the world by performing daredevil feats on the edge of human ability. However players aren’t the only ones with mind-blowing acrobatic skills; intelligent enemies will give chase and engage players in frantic gun fights and attacks that can come from any direction – in Damnation’s world there’s no safe place to hide.
