Atari and Eidos today announced the upcoming release of Highlander for XBOX 360, Playstation 3 and Games for Windows.
Based on the cult film and television franchise, Highlander lets players experience immortality as they take control of Owen MacLeod in a third person action adventure spanning 2000 years of history.
In Highlander you must master the powers and abilities of an Immortal including:
The ability to use your body as a conduit to unleash electricity or fire at enemies.
impaling yourself on enemy weapons to disarm them and even leaping from tall buildings to your apparent death on the streets below to avoid enemy attacks.
Players can upgrade their own abilities by defeating other Immortals in combat. Once defeated, by removing an Immortal’s head from their body generates the Quickening; which is the ability to absorb the knowledge and strength of the defeated.
"For the first time, Highlander comes to fans in a new medium that allows players to dive into the Immortal universe," said Peter Davis of Davis-Panzer Productions.
Highlander is written by David Abramowitz (writer of the Highlander TV series) and uses the Unreal Engine 3 licensed from Epic Games, Inc. Developed by Widescreen in France; the game is set for release later this year on XBOX 360, Playstation 3 and Games for Windows.
