Dark Sector dated
D3Publisher nails down January 22 North American release for Digital Extremes' PS3 and Xbox 360 shooter.
The first game officially announced as being in development for the current generation of consoles is nearly here. Digital Extremes' Dark Sector, originally revealed in April of 2004, finally has a retail release date.
D3Publisher of America today announced that it will be shipping Dark Sector to North American retailers on January 22. Built on the custom-made Evolution Engine, the third-person shooter attempts to immerse the player in a cinematic experience, forgoing things like a heads-up display to keep distractions at a minimum.
Dark Sector drops players into the role of a secret agent trying to unearth Cold War secrets in Eastern Europe. Along the way, the agent finds himself infected with a "technocyte virus" that grants him powers like the ability to grow a bladed disc weapon from his arm, but also threatens to take over his body entirely.
