Edge of Reality announces new IP for PS3 and Xbox 360

Texas developer Edge of Reality, best known for producing movie tie-ins such as Shark Tale and Over the Hedge, has announced that it is developing a new IP for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Titled Cipher Complex, the self-funded project is billed as "an intense, cinematic military combat game." It follows the adventures of US Government operative John Cipher, who must go behind enemy lines to discover why a recon satellite has been mysteriously blasted from orbit.

"The evolution of action games has seemed to plateau, perhaps because of the emphasis on sequels,â said EoR president Binu Philip.

"We are exploring and developing brand new styles of gameplay and methods of storytelling. The concept and mechanics of Cipher Complex have been incubating in our mind for years, and with power of the next-gen consoles, we can finally make our dream project a reality."

Cipher Complex is slated for a 2007 release.
