Ubisoft's FPS Haze disappeared off the radar after being officially announced last May, but a year on and it's back - sort of - as the publisher launches a viral marketing-style website (http://www.mantelglobalindustries.com/) for Mantel Global Industries.
Mantel Global Industries is the multinational corporation that's produced an army in which Haze main protagonist Jake Carpenter has enlisted.
As a soldier for the Mantel army, Carpenter has access to high-tech vehicles, kick-ass weapons and performance-enhancing bio-medical support via the company's patented n-Keto-thyrazine substance.
A consumer version of this substance has been produced and labelled Nectar Energy Drink - whether this ties into Haze's storyline and ends up turning the world's population in the raving homicidal maniacs, we'll just have to wait and see.
Haze is being developed for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 by TimeSplitters chaps Free Radical and is set in the near-future. Events kick off when Carpenter is sent as part of army to quell rebel uprising in a South American country, but everything's not quite as it seems...
We've not had a chance to have a thorough dig around the Mantel Global Industries website just yet but there's bound to be a few secrets to be discovered.
