You might be mistaken to think that this is a game by anti-war activists! Actually, To End All Wars is a new game announced by video games publisher Ghostlight. The first person shooter is set in the war-torn trenches of World War I Europe and will make use of Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 technology.
To End All Wars Overview:
- The authenticity of the conflict has been put at the heart of the project. Period locations will be recreated in lavish detail, only weaponry of the time will be available and character design will reflect the uniforms and style of the era. Crucially the experience of the rough battle in the ditches, the fear of charging across no man’s land, deadly secret excursions to enemy outposts in the dead of night and the heart stopping terror of pounding artillery guns will be central to the gaming experience.
Stephen Morgan, Head of Development at Ghostlight said “By producing a title set in World War I, we are taking gaming into a new period of wartime history. Our research revealed huge global changes in both real-world technology and tactical deployment of battle units during the intense four year conflict. This has given us scope to present gamers with a multitude of evolving challenges within an ever changing environment”.
Khaled Lababedi, Director of Ghostlight says, “The FPS genre is a competitive market however we believe that “To End All Wars” will be an outstanding title that will form the basis of a new gaming franchise. Alongside other products to be announced in the coming months “To End All Wars” will push Ghostlight towards its stated objective of becoming a major global publisher.”
To End All Wars will be developed by UK developer Kuju’s newly appointed Chemistry studio. The game will release on the PS3 as well as the Xbox 360 in the summer of 2008.
