Scivelation is officially announced for release on the Xbox
360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and is
scheduled for a Q3 2010 release.
Scivelation, a cinematic gameplay experience set in a
dystopian future that promises both high octane action and a powerful
human story. Combining beautiful visuals rendered on the Unreal 3
Engine with an immersive plot informed by the works of Orwell, Milton
and Dante, Scivelation features white-knuckled gameplay that stresses
intelligent strategy while players run, gun, sneak, and drive through a
diversity of post-Apocalyptic locations.
Human civilization as we know it has ended at the hands of religious
zealots desperate to bring about the Apocalypse. What remains of
society has been homogenized into a single culture, to be governed by
the Regime – a theocratic, worldwide government intent to rob mankind
of its most meaningful symbols. A scattered front of old believers,
named heretics by the Regime, have resorted to violent mobilization in
order to carve out a niche where they might survive unmolested, and in
the midst of this turmoil are Dr. Elisha Amano, a disgruntled Regime
scientist who helped develop a paradigm-shifting, post-human
supervirus; and Mikhail Ivanov, a cyborg and former member of the
Russian special forces who was divested of his humanity fighting in the
End Times.
