Black Wing Reveals Salvation

Black Wing has unveiled it new third person shooter, Salvation. The game takes place in an alternate dark future born from the ashes of an apocalyptic world war. Society exists under the repressive “Regime.” Genetically enhanced “Angels” enforce a draconian code of law and any opposition is condemned to a living Hell in virtual reality.

Gameplay features stealth, shooter and arcade elements with role-playing as well. Black Wing claims Salvation will have a three fold appeal.

“Firstly, Salvation is oriented towards drama and story, and borrows as much from movies,” a spokesperson for the developer explained to Eurogamer. “Secondly, you will find original and interesting characters that use multi-functional weapons.

“Thirdly, the setting: futuristic prototypes of real-world cities such as Moscow and London, which make the game believable and immersive. Last, but not least, you will be able to fight 20 unforgettable bosses, which are all linked by the story.”

Although Salvation is built on aging Source technology; it offers high quality graphics and a multiplayer mode that will support eight to 32 players. It also appears to allow you to play the enemy forces.

“Source engine has a good reputation of cross-platform technology, while N-Game Studios (who is developing the game while Black Wing Foundation will be producing it and providing the Salvation trademark) has profound experience of working with it,” continued the spokesperson.

“Needless to say that the Valve team is very sociable and positive to work with. On top of this, Steam is a very interesting platform for us.”
