Atomic Games Breaches the Xbox
360
Announces new military action
shooter
Atomic Games announced Breach today.
Breach is a first-person multiplayer shooter that literally blows the floor out
from under conventional military shooters. Breach introduces new kinds of
destruction that haven’t been seen in any other game, unveils an Active Cover
System which allows players to take advantage of any cover as it is ripped
apart, and adds in unique, true-to-life spy gadgets which all changes the very
nature of multiplayer combat.
Breach uses Atomic’s innovative
Hydrogen Engine to give players inventive ways to use destruction so they can
stun, manipulate, and eliminate their opponents with a new toolbox of tactics.
For the first time, virtual warriors can punch holes through floors to get the
drop on enemies below, breach both interior and exterior walls, crush enemy
fighters by collapsing ceilings and balconies, and even shoot away individual
bricks to create "shooter’s holes." Breach is the first game to mix Atomic’s
ground-breaking Active Cover System, which lets players attach instantly to
cover, quickly pop in and out of cover, and peak and blind-fire from behind
cover, with an environment in which virtually anything that can be used for
cover can also be destroyed. As walls get eaten away from bullets and
explosions, characters will be able to use the new openings to return fire
without leaving the protection of remaining cover.
Players will take on the roles of
some of the most elite field operatives in the US. CIA Special Activities
Division officers are the teams sent in on real-life black operations when no
one can ever know the US was involved. Atomic is using expertise it developed
creating training systems for the world’s leading military and intelligence
organizations to bring the secret world of black operations to life with
accurate weapons, gear, and real-life spy gadgets which virtual operators can
use with real world tactics to defeat the enemy.
Breach also aims to disrupt the way
video games are priced and purchased. Breach can be downloaded through the Xbox
LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360. On this platform, Breach offers the kinds of
innovation and features expected in a full packaged game.
Breach will be available this Summer
and it does not yet have a rating by the ESRB. Initial intelligence and can be
