Ubisoft announced that it will be
publishing Cold Fear, the first action-horror title under the Ubisoft brand. Developed by
Darkworks, the game will launch simultaneously for the PlayStation 2, the Xbox and PC-CD
Rom. Cold Fear is slated for release in March 2005.
Cold Fear renews the horror genre
by combining the popular elements of both action and horror releases, delivering an
action-packed, fear-filled gaming experience.
Players step into the role of Tom
Hansen, a U.S. Coast Guard who is sent to board a drifting Russian whaling ship in the
middle of a howling storm on the Bering Sea. He arrives only to discover that terrifying
surprises await him on the bloodstained decks of the constantly rocking, shifting vessel.
Set in a volatile, dynamic environment, players will find themselves overwhelmed by fear as
they engage in intense combat with intelligent enemies.
Even the toughest competitor
will be challenged to endure the heart-stopping terror that is Cold
Fear.
