GMX Media announces a street date for Hellforces (at least in the U.K.), the upcoming devilish shooter that previous carried a spring 2005 date. Turns out the game will arrive just has spring has sprung:

LONDON, UK - GMX Media is today announcing the street date and the unveiling of the box art for its new action packed FPS “HELLFORCES” , a blood and guts zombie killer. Licensed by Buka Entertainment, Hellforces is due for release on 25th March.

The story so far…

Experimenting with alternative power sources, the biophysicist Henry Alfred Cole has found a way to extract the soul from a human body and use the soul as a power source. The soulless bodies however turned into zombies. Hellish creatures started filling them to change dramatically the essence of the host body.

A daemon from a parallel world, Baphomet, installed himself in one soulless body and soon founded the cult of Lucifer. The aim of this cult was to open the gate for Lucifer to come into the humans’ world. The number of followers of the cult increased at a catastrophic rate; Satanists all around the world were joining their ranks.

Our hero is concerned with the fate of his missing friend, who had had a meeting with the leader of a satanic sect just a day before his disappearance. His persistent investigations become a threat to the Satan worshippers and Satanists start hunting after him. The creepy truth about the fate of his friend will reveal itself in the mansion of the biophysicist...

Save the earth from the heresy and the minions of Lucifer!
