Ubisoft have just announced that a new real time 3D survival horror inspired by the teen horror genre, made popular by a number of recent movies and primetime TV shows, will be released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC this September.
Obscure follows a group of 5 American students as they try to unravel the mysterious happenings and disappearances that keep occurring at their school. Through the long eerie corridors and dark hallways of Leafmore, Shannon, Kenny, Ashley, Stan and Josh will come to learn that the night will be long and survival not easy...and in this school they teach you things you never wanted to know about.
Obscure will feature a unique multiplayer option - hot plug and play feature, meaning a second player can join or leave the game at any time. Gamers will also be able to switch between characters at any time with the 2nd character being controlled by either a second player or the game's innovative A.I. Each student will have unique skills and interactivity between characters during fights, inventory management, and riddle solving. Gamers will also be able to set the A.I. controlled follower to attack, defense and help in a sticky situation.
"Obscure is the first game to exploit the success of recent teen survival horror films" said Rob Cooper, UK managing director at Ubisoft. "This will provide the perfect opportunity for fans of these TV shows and movies to become a part of one themselves."
More as we get it.
