RENO, Nev. – March 17, 2009 - 3G Studios, Inc. released details of its
upcoming next-generation console and PC game which will pit the player against
the hordes of a dark and powerful enemy. In XomB (pronounced “Zombie”), the
player will fight in epic battles, overcoming incredible odds to triumph against
an evil that is sweeping their homeland.
“The game is set in a re-imagined version of feudal Asia. The player will find
themselves thrown into the middle of a war which is already being waged; one
where the spreading Darkness is forcibly corrupting the landscape and reaping
the souls of entire populations of innocents,” stated Patric Starr, Designer at
3G’s Tahoe studio.
Todd Imus, Writer for 3G’s Tahoe studio, elaborated: “The dead are being
harvested and re-animated in different forms by this incredibly powerful force.
The player will learn to alternately fight and control the force as they
liberate the slaves of the conquered lands. This tale is very dark and draws
heavily upon the unique world of Asian mythology.”
The game is currently being developed for PC, next-generation consoles, and
select handheld devices. Nameplates are available at:
