The master mythmaker, novelist and filmmaker Clive Barker teamed up with equally skillful Codemasters to create something especially terrifying for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC which will be out sometime late this year. The game is designed as an action horror title which aims to bring the best in special effects, the darkest elements of Barker’s horror fiction and films, and ambitious, age-spanning story … a lost city in a remote desert, an unspeakable evil, a special forces squad trained in arcane arts… Clive Barker said, “It’s incredible when a company as admired as Codemasters embraces your vision the way they have embraced Jericho. This project is very close to my heart and I don’t believe there's ever been anything like it. It promises to be the most spectacular, creative, and unflinching realization of a Clive Barker nightmare that will drag players in kicking and screaming”. “Players will constantly be given new challenges, new environments, and yes, new horrors and abominations to face every step of the way”, continues Barker. “However, unlike a conventional game in which the characters are attempting to escape at the end of their ride through Hell, our protagonists have a much more difficult task. The closer they come to the end of their trek into darkness, the nearer they get to the source of that darkness: Evil Incarnate, we'll call it for now…” Barry Jafrato, Codemasters’ Senior VP of Brand commented on signing the deal with Barker, “Clive’s astounding skills in creating the darkest of fantastical scenarios that twist our dreams makes him the perfect creator for a rich horror video game. The visual and audio capabilities of the next-generation gaming formats will enable this project to be realised as an incredible experience with scenarios and cinematographic effects that will both thrill and terrify”.
