This press release
reveals development of The End, an Unreal Engine 3 first-person shooter from
Farmarix Enterprises planned for release in 2009 (thanks
FiringSquad). The release bandies about the phrase "next generation," often
a codeword for (this generation) consoles, but concentrates on establishing the
game's "AAA" bona fides based on the engine license.
This
job opening post indicates PC and Xbox 360 are the game's target platforms,
and offers a bit on the story:
Miles Caden is haunted by his past. Once a
proud military officer and happy family man, he now lives in a perpetual state
of regret. Not long after the fateful accident that left him and his best friend
dishonorably discharged, he lost his wife to a tragic car accident. Depressed
and desolate, he slips into a life of alcoholism. Only his cousin, Chaz, took
him in, as he was forsaken by the rest of his family. Nothing seemed to be going
right, until one day Chaz offered Miles the chance to get back his dignity. A
chance to pull his life together. But nothing comes for free, and Miles has to
decide how much he's willing to lose in order to regain his former self.
