Global videogame publisher 505 Games today announced Blackwater, a first person shooter coming exclusively to Kinect for Xbox 360. Produced by Pantierra and developed by Zombie Studios, Blackwater is titled for the former name of the private security company founded in 1997 by Erik Prince, a former Navy SEAL, to provide training support to military and law enforcement agencies.
Blackwater reinvents the modern combat shooter genre by giving players the ability to completely control the gameplay experience using either a traditional controller or Kinect's controller-free abilities, the latter of which introduces an unprecedented level of immersion to the FPS genre. "This game and its immersive Kinect-based approach will give players the chance to experience what it is like to be on a Blackwater team on a mission without being dropped into a real combat situation," said Prince.
505 Games will be providing a first look at the title at E3 2011. Based on a fictional story, the game was developed in conjunction with former members of the Blackwater team to ensure accuracy of moves, gestures and gameplay. The game also features a selection of officially-licensed weapons for your soldier to choose from.
Blackwater is a shooter experience unlike anything you've ever played before. Lead a team of Blackwater Operators protecting a fictional North African town, battling dangerous warlords and fighting back two opposing militia forces. Using the motion-sensing Kinect controller you can do everything from moving your character to aiming and firing a weapon as you work your way through pressure-filled missions. Blackwater is scheduled to release in fall 2011.
