If there is a game that can be defined as next-gen, this is Dark Sector.

In 2004, Dark Sector has been the first game announced for next-generation consoles and, since then, Digital Extremes, the software house involved in the development, has released almost no material.

However, it seems that something is getting out from the Canadian software house. In fact, the last Game Informer issue reports some interesting and exclusive info on Dark Sector, along with 3 new screenshots showing a change in game-concept course.

If from the first released trailers it was possible to see a futuristic atmosphere, these new images from the American magazine sets the game in Russia, in the pants of an FBI agent.

Naturally, something less conventional will not lack. Our FBI agent, once back from Russia (where he has conducted a mysterious investigation), will be assaulted and when he'll wake up both a "parasite" (which confers him super-natural powers) and a bionic arm will have been implanted. Hence, probably, in Russia a war is being fight between the "parasite-infected" and a mysterious military force trying to foil the menace.

For the moment, no other information has been released about the game plot which seems, however, very interesting. On the contrary, something new is known about the game-play: Dark Sector is an Actiong-game with a third person point of view similar to Resident Evil 4 or Gears of War.

The weapons we'll find in the game are numerous, according to Digital Extremes, and among them there is a sort of "magic disc" that will allow us to kill enemies from distance (like a boomerang).

Clearly, we're very curious about Dark Sector, a game almost completely surrounded by mystery. Fortunately, slowly, the title is showing up and we all will probably be able to begin judging what could be the greatest surprise of the 2007: in fact, the game release is scheduled for the next year autumn.

Stay tuned!
