Epic Games, People Can Fly and EA have confirmed the development of Bulletstorm, a new and original intellectual property from the teams behind the Gears of War, Unreal Tournament and Painkiller series of games.
Bulletstorm tells the story of a futuristic confederation protected by an elite band of mercenaries: Dead Echo. When Dead Echo members Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato learn they’ve been working for the wrong side, they’re betrayed by their commander and exiled to the far reaches of the galaxy. In Bulletstorm, Grayson and Ishi find themselves surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh eating gangs in an abandoned paradise. They have two objectives: get off the planet alive, and exact revenge on the man who sent them there.
As Grayson Hunt players will have an arsenal of over-the-top combat moves and outrageously large guns at their disposal. Unique to the game is something called the ‘skillshot’, rewarding players for inciting mayhem in the most creative way possible. The more insane the skillshot, the more points players collects to upgrade their character and unlock weapons.
“Bulletstorm is the kind of game we love to make because it’s pure, unadulterated entertainment,” said Epic Games President Dr. Michael Capps. “People Can Fly has created a wildly fun first-person shooter that looks gorgeous running on the latest Unreal Engine 3 technology, and the skillshot system is a welcome addition to the genre. We can’t wait to see how everyone reacts to seeing Bulletstorm.”
Bulletstorm is scheduled for release in 2011 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
