SouthPeak Games has today announced the autumn 2008 release of Raven Squad: Operation Hidden Dagger, a near-future action game that blends elements of the real-time strategy genre with the first-person shooter.
The game is in development at Atomic Motion and sees players controlling of two groups of mercenary squads who crash land behind enemy lines in the Amazonian jungles. Players will need to use tactical planning and a large handful of brute force in order to get out alive.
Each of the game’s eight squad members will possess distinctive skills and weaponry that players will have to use wisely in order to progress through the game’s story-driven objectives. What is set to make Raven Squad stand out from the crowd is the ability to switch from the first-person action to RTS gameplay. Both modes of gameplay will need to be mastered in order to succeed.
“Raven Squad combines two extremely popular genres into a single robust experience where either gameplay mode could stand on its own merits,” said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. “Atomic Motion is creating something that’s visually compelling and building new boundaries in what a military title can accomplish. Fans of both RTS and FPS games are going to love it, as will anyone who enjoys intense, action titles.”
Look out for more on Raven Squad over the coming months.
