Tragnarion Studios announces they will release a Windows edition of The Scourge Project via Steam later this month, with an Xbox LIVE Arcade release to follow in March of next year. This Unreal-engine game was announced in 2007 as a first-person shooter, but in the over two years since we've heard anything about it, the first-person perspective was ditched in favor of the third-person view, which can be seen in this batch of new screenshots. Here's a bit from the announcement:

The Scourge Project will use Epic´s Unreal® Engine™ for their new multiplatform shooter featuring a unique focus on co-operative narrative and gameplay. The Scourge Project will be a story-driven 3rd person shooter game built from the ground up for co-op, where up to 4 players each experience a personal story whilst playing together as a squad. The Scourge Project will be distributed digitally for PC via Steam in December 2009 and for Xbox Live in March 2010.

The Scourge Project will come on a 2 episode bundle with more than 5 hours of gameplay spanning 4 complete levels, up to 4 Player Co-op Campaign Mode, 4 Unique Playable Characters to choose from, an arsenal of weapons and special abilities, thrilling boss-fights and environmental puzzles. The Scourge Project will have multiplayer modes such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag and Frontiers, all of which allow up to 16 Players.
