The benchmark for the first person shooter genre is set to reach new heights in summer 2008 when burgeoning publisher Ghostlight unleashes “To End All Wars” onto the global battlefield.
Set in the war-torn trenches of World War I Europe, “To End All Wars” will deliver unrivalled atmosphere and realism, bringing the mud strewn horror of this most desperate of conflicts to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 formats using Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 technology.
Ghostlight are currently seeking a partner to release the game in the United States and will be travelling to promote the game at the forthcoming E for All expo in Los Angels from 18th to 20th October. If you would like to get in contact with Ghostlight you can mail@ghostlight.uk.com or alternatively ring +44 (0)1279 858000.
To End All Wars is being developed by UK’s premier development studio Kuju Sheffield (Chemistry). Studio Head Simeon Pashley comments “By blending Kuju’s specialism on Unreal Engine with this great theme we’ve created a new & exciting formula for an amazing game experience that brings to life the visceral and demanding struggle that was The Great War.”
Stephen Morgan, Head of Development at Ghostlight comments “By producing a title set in World War I, we are taking gaming into a new period of wartime history. Our research revealed huge global changes in both real-world technology and tactical deployment of battle units during the intense four year conflict. This has given us scope to present gamers with a multitude of evolving challenges within an ever changing environment”.
Authenticity of the conflict has been put at the heart of the project. Period locations will be recreated in lavish detail, only weaponry of the time will be available and character design will reflect the uniforms and style of the era. Crucially the experience of the gritty combat in the trenches, the fear of charging across no man’s land, deadly secret excursions to enemy outposts in the dead of night and the heart stopping terror of pounding artillery guns will be central to the gaming experience.
Khaled Lababedi, Director of Ghostlight stated “The FPS genre is a competitive market however we believe that “To End All Wars” will be an exceptional title that will form the basis of a new gaming franchise. Alongside other products to be announced in the coming months “To End All Wars” will propel Ghostlight towards our stated objective of becoming a major global publisher.”
