"INFERNAL" - unveiling of a new hero for the demonic game!
Amsterdam, April 26th, 2006
After announcing the new name "Infernal", Dutch publisher
Playlogic and developing studio Metropolis Software now
unveil "Ryan Lennox" as the new protagonist in this highly
anticipated 3rd person shooter, scheduled for release this
autumn.
After significant changes to the design and styling of the
game, and the subsequent change of the game title
"Diabolique" to "Infernal", the game now also features a
redesigned main character to better suit the storyline and
the demonic and evil atmosphere. The new main character "Ryan
Lennox" is much more distinct and perfectly represents a hero
with devilish powers and hot-headed manners, while never
forgetting his coolness. His behavior is perfectly underlined
by his looks and his outfit. Ryan is a true character of his
generation, enabling players to identify with him.
"INFERNAL" is a 3rd person action adventure that is set in a
present day scenario, with stunning environments and strong
characters. The story relates to the eternal conflict between
good and evil, confronted in supernatural intelligence
agencies. The game uses the state-of-the-art Ageia PhysX
engine that enables highly interactive worlds with
destroyable walls and objects, while giving the player the
ability to use a vast variety of objects and drive different
vehicles, enhancing the overall feeling of entering a most
realistic world. This is supported by using high level
graphics and latest technologies such as: pixel shaders 3.0,
full screen effects, normal-mapping, real-time reflections
and a stunning overall design based on real locations
throughout Europe and the USA.
"INFERNAL" is scheduled for release in Q4 2006 on PC DVD-ROM
and will be shown for the very first time to public audience
on E3 in Los Angeles, at Playlogic booth #2328 in the West
Hall right next to the Sony booth. Requests for an
appointment and personal screening must be scheduled with
ingo.horn@imc-online.net or via phone
+49-(0)2203-9803019.
