Sierra Entertainment has announced that the next generation of first-person shooters, 'TimeShift', is officially available at retail stores nationwide for the PC and Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.
The game, one of the most talked about titles of 2007, will also be available on the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system on November 19, 2007.
Developed by Saber Interactive and published by Sierra Entertainment, 'TimeShift' allows players to control time and use it as the ultimate weapon in a fierce battle against the neo-fascist regime of Dr Krone.
In 'TimeShift', the story revolves around a highly respected physicist with a mysterious past.
When your colleague Dr Krone goes rogue and uses an experimental time-manipulating suit to create an alternate time stream where he is a grim dictator in a dystopian alternate reality, players must chase after him and use time to overthrow his rule.
Armed with similar, yet less stable time-bending suit, players have the ability to slow, stop and reverse the flow of time, while being able to freely interact with the environment and enemies, a feat never before accomplished in video games.
Featuring ground-breaking artificial intelligence, powerfully realistic graphics and immersive sound and story, 'TimeShift' is proving to be one of the first truly next-gen games to come to market this holiday season.
"We are very excited to ship this highly anticipated title to retail," said Pascal Brochier, president, Global Retail for Vivendi Games.
"Players are going to see effects in this game like they never have before - the ability to control time is a very unique feature, which is a lot of fun to play in single or multiplayer mode."
With a comprehensive online 16-player multiplayer mode, featuring time controlling "chrono" grenades, 14 different maps and over 40 different customisable features, 'TimeShift', was developed for elite multiplayer gamers by drawing inspirations from the best FPS's and adapting itself to the players' unique style by incorporating highly customizable gameplay modifiers resulting in a frenetic and competitive multiplayer experience every game.
