Nordic Games and Farm 51 have announced a new game called Deadfall Adventures. It's built in the Unreal Engine 3 and it's designed as an action-adventure which plays out in the first person perspective just like a shooter. It also has guns, but it's mostly an action-adventure with puzzles to solve and places to explore.
Set in the year 1938, players take on the role of one James Lee Quatermain, who's tasked with accompanying Jennifer Goodwin, a US agent and former colleague of his to an Egyptian temple complex to retrieve an ancient artifact called the Heart of Atlantis. Quatermain and Goodwin have to get the artifact before the Nazis and Soviets do.
As you might have noticed, James is no doubt related to the famous (fictional) explorer Allan Quartermain, and the setting's pretty darn similar to Indiana Jones', but I'm not complaining.
Together, the duo embark on an adventure across the globe, from the sands of Egypt, the icy depths of the Arctic, and the jungles of Guatemala.
“Deadfall Adventures marries the ethos of the Saturday morning matinee with the Summer blockbuster to create an original adventure which will grip players from start to finish,” says Klemens Kreuzer, Managing Director at Nordic Games. “We’re putting players into the heart of the action, just as they’d dreamed as children, staring at their heroes on the silver screen. It’s fantastic to be working on Deadfall Adventures with The Farm 51 from the roots up; it’s going to be an exciting summer.”
“We’re thrilled to be working on our second project alongside Nordic Games,” says Wojciech Pazdur, Development Director at The Farm 51. “We’re putting everything into the games’ stunning graphics to create a unique experience that will be both challenging and engaging. The great thing about Deadfall Adventures, it makes us discover the little Indiana Jones in all of us.”
Deadfall Adventures is set for release on the PC and Xbox 360 on July 30, 2013.
