Swallow is an experienced screenwriter whose credits include Star Trek: Voyager and Doctor Who. He will be devising a gripping scenario for Codemasters and KDV’s futuristic strategy epic Maelstrom.

I’m excited to be a part of the Maelstrom project,” said Swallow. “We have a dynamic and compelling plotline, epic scope and strong characters. As the game unfolds, the conflicts between the factions and the characters within them become the flashpoints for player missions, and what begins as a battle to live another day soon becomes a global fight for survival, with the player at the heart of the action.

Maelstrom is said to feature action packed strategic gameplay, including upgradeable transforming units and massively powerful weapons. The game is currently scheduled for release on PC in Q3 2006.
