They fires off at Leipzig

At this year's Leipzig Games Convention, 390 exhibitors from all over the world will descend upon the Leipziger Messe convention center to display their wares. Of those exhibitors, one will be unveiling a new sci-fi first-person shooter titled They.

While the public relations firm teasing They were cagey with exactly who would be developing and publishing the game, they were slightly more forthright with the game's details. They takes place in a "mysterious" near-future sci-fi universe. In They, players will apparently be made to "love" their weapons, and the game features a "heavy usage of physics" in destructible environments. They will also feature a single-player campaign and multiplayer modes.

They is projected to arrive on the PC and next-generation consoles in 2008 or 2009. Check back during this year's Leipzig Games Convention--running August 22-26--for more on this mysterious shooter.
