Undying
EA today announced a horror-themed first-person shooter called Undying, which will bring gamers into a world of arcane magic, supernatural
abominations and ancient horror. Set in Ireland in the 1920s, people will assume the role of Magnus, who has been summoned to an ancestral
estate at the hand of its lone descendent, Jeremiah. Death has claimed Jeremiah’s four siblings, each whom have been reanimated with the
intent of slaughtering their brother, the last of the clan, in order to free them from the curse of an undead ruler. In order to save his friend and
unravel the curse, Magnus must set out on five perilous quests before he can unearth the final horror of the estate.
Each quest brings Magnus face-to-face with one of Jeremiah's undead siblings and the baneful creatures the curse has attracted. In addition,
Magnus must triumph over his hated competitor, Kiesinger. If there is power to be had through unearthing the secrets of the estate, then
Kiesinger will attempt to steal it--and there is much power to be had. It is up to Magnus to defeat each of Jeremiah's siblings and vanquish
Kiesinger in order to quell the curse.
Features:
Ten areas, including the estate, a monastery, a ring of standing stones, a cursed city, the Pirate's Cove, the Eternal Autumn and the
Neolithic caves
Five boss characters, including four based on Jeremiah's dead siblings
Sixteen spells, including eight defensive and eight either miscellaneous or offensive
Eight weapons, such as the shotgun, the Tibetan War Cannon and the Scythe of Brennus
Over 20 enemy creatures, including Di'nen, Howlers, Celestial Chanters, Hounds of Ghelziabahr, Sleads and Monto'-Shonoi
Special modes such as the ability to soar in the spirit worlds and a spell that allows the gamer to see and hear supernatural events
Score of Celtic-inspired spiritual music
Robust deathmatch similar to ROCKET ARENA
