Though it had only three first-person shooters at launch--Call of Duty 2, Perfect Dark Zero, and Quake 4--the Xbox 360 will be getting many more. Another addition to the next-gen FPS roster came this week, when independent Danish studio Zero Point Software announced a new title for the Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3.

Codenamed "Project IM," the game is described as "an AAA, FPS, sci-fi, action and adventure game with an original and unpredictable storyline featuring single and cooperative gameplay, with heavy focus on realism." The screenshots and trailer released by Zero Point show a "new breed" of heavily armored futuristic soldier, which bears an uncanny resemblance to Master Chief, hero of the Halo games.

More sci-fi FPS goodness for next-gen machines.

As far as Project IM gameplay elements are concered, the game will sport "custom game modes featuring arcade, RPG and tactical elements," according to Zero Point. It will also allow up to four players to work together in its co-op mode, which, like the single-player mode, will feature "randomized and non-linear gameplay."

Zero Point also disclosed that Project IM has been in development since May 2005 and will use Epic Games' popular Unreal 3 engine. Despite the fact that the game does not yet have a publisher or release date, the developer claims it will be part of a trilogy.

    Well Fallout 3 took a long time also, going from canned to back in production. So will see, it would be awesome to have a replacement to battlefield 2142 or something of that nature.

    It's now 09, and there's still nothing new. I think we can safely say that this game will never be finished. What with the recession and so many high profile games being canned, the likely-hood of anybody even announcing that this has been cancelled is remote. For all i know it could have been cancelled years ago. R.I.P. Project IM.

    January? How? We havem't heard anything since 05. WTF? I hope it is still under development. It looks pretty cool. sh!t. I hope there is news soon.

    No new comments yet? Never mind, i'll keep posting here in the hope that one day someone will remember this game. I've searched the web, and only managed to find one additional screenshot that has been posted after this trailer was released. Not exactly promising, i must say. I'll try to remember to check back some time soon.

    I was just looking at the preview for the upcoming game shattered horizon, and then i remembered this and decided to see if there was anything new... Hmm...nope, last news feature was Nov 2005. I don't think this game will be making off the launch pad. Which is a real shame, because it looked pretty good too.

    Doesn't sound too amazing, and there hasn't been any news on it at all, apparently. Plus, the helmets look stupid. xD I'll track it anyway.

    Why has there been nothing about this since 05. It was removed from my tracked games it's taking so long.

    because they're taking so long, this game better be good. DAMN good.

    Cool. I'm looking forward to it. If they have been working on it since 05, I should it will be out soon. My guess is 09 or even 2010 because it still lacks a publisher and a release date.

    This game looks pretty darn good. but liek they say looks can be decieving. so i will bring out my opinion when i see actual gameplay of this game and the final results of the game.

    the helmet of the soldiers looks realy bad, the guns are ugly and the trailer is a very bad one, IMO i don't think i would hype this game for the time being.
