Capcom has announced that Bionic Commando will be released across PAL territories on May 22 for both Xbox 360 and PS3.
Bionic Commando features Nathan Spencer, a government operative who is betrayed and falsely imprisoned by the very people he unquestioningly served. Five years later, on the day he is due to be executed for his supposed crimes, an experimental weapon detonates in Ascension City, unleashing an immensely powerful earthquake coupled with a radiation shockwave that leaves the city in ruins, wiping out its populace.
Military intelligence suggests that a large terrorist search force has moved in and occupied Ascension City, and with the terrain in ruins and the terrorists in control the FSA’s only option is the reactivation of Nathan Spencer.
The Bionic Arm and the swing mechanic from the original game return, but have been upgraded to deliver a range of devastating attacks and allow Spencer to quickly traverse the game’s diverse environments.
Capcom has also confirmed that the PC version will ship shortly after the console release.
