Eidos has revealed more on Shellshock 2: Blood Trails, its "brutal and twisted psychological" first person shooter for PS3, 360 and PC.
Set in Vietnam, the game aims to take on the tone of a horror, with a story revolving around a team of Special Ops soldiers that go missing in the jungle.
"At the height of the Vietnam War, a covert ops cargo plane carrying a top-secret consignment known only as 'Whiteknight' is lost over the deepest, uncharted jungles. Special Ops soldiers are immediately dispatched to the scene to retrieve the top secret shipment and one-by-one they disappear without a trace... until one month later, one of them suddenly walks out of the jungle," explains Eidos.
"Crazed and deranged, something in the jungle had ripped out his humanity, poisoning his soul. Something in the darkness had driven him mad....and followed him out."
Sounds interesting. The screens certainly back up the horror flavour; they're all dark and moody. And there's a trailer to the lower right too. The game will be out on all three platforms before Christmas this year. Tuck in...
