Developed by Digital-Extremes, the co-creators of Epic Game’s Unreal franchise, Dark Sector is a third-person shooter where players assume the role of Hayden Tenno, who gains the ability to morph into different combat forms. The game is set in a fictional Soviet-bloc country in the near future where bio-weapons have been let loose on an unsuspecting populace.
“We are very fortunate based on our previous successes to be in a position of being selective with our business partners,” commented James Schmalz, Digital Extremes founder. “D3Publisher impressed us with their commitment to publishing high quality next-generation games that exceed gamers’ expectations, which we certainly expect to do with Dark Sector. We consider this game to be the culmination of the experience we have garnered over the years in creating cutting-edge entertainment and we are pleased to be working with them to bring Dark Sector to gamers around the world.“
“Our focus at D3Publisher continues to be acquiring good, mass-market appeal licensed properties, and the acquisition of IP from selected developers designed for next generation machines,” stated Yoji Takenaka, executive vice president and COO for D3PA. “The opportunity to work with the world renowned design team that James Schmalz has assembled at Digital Extremes is just too good to pass up. They have an outstanding reputation for gorgeous graphics, polished gameplay and high quality production values. We are very proud to be working with them on Dark Sector.”
The game will feature both single and multiplayer modes, but gamers are in for a long wait, with a release not expected until Q3 2007 for PC and next-gen consoles.
