SEGA has announced the summer 2011 release of Captain America: Super Soldier, an original World War II adventure for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and Nintendo DS.

The game is in development at Next Level Games, the studio responsible for Nintendo’s Punch Out!! on Wii.

“Video game players the world over can now become Marvel’s iconic Super Hero Captain America,” said Gary Knight, senior vice president of marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA America. “Captain America: Super Soldier puts players in the boots of the ultimate Super Soldier, wielding Captain America’s legendary shield. Working closely with Marvel ensures we’re delivering the calibre of product that gamers and comic fans deserve and it’s a partnership we’re proud of here at SEGA.”

Described as a third-person action adventure game which combines acrobatic platforming with melee combat, Captain America: Super Soldier sees players take on the role of the Marvel super hero and will battle enemies including Iron Cross, the Hydra Army and Red Skull.

Written by renowned Marvel comic writer Christos Gage, the game follows a storyline set within the period of WWII. Gage wrote his original story for Captain America: Super Soldier so that the setting coincides with the upcoming movie of the same name, but expect a series of “immersive twists” designed to enhance the game experience.
