What a nice way to start the day...! A new game has been announced for three of today's most popular platforms:
Jumper.
Developed by Brash Entertainment and
Red Tribe & Collision and published by Brash again, this interesting looking teleportation-based 3rd Person action-fighting game launches for Sony's
PlayStation 2, Nintendo's
Wii and Microsoft's
Xbox 360 on the 12th of February,
next year.
Brash Entertainment has provided a bunch of details on the game, such as storyline and key features within a recently released fact sheet:
Jumpers, people with a genetic anomaly that enables them to teleport themselves instantaneously to anywhere on the globe, have existed for centuries. An age-old battle rages between the Jumpers and the Paladins, a clandestine organization set on eliminating them from the planet. The Jumper game extends the film's storyline, following Griffin, a battle-hardened Jumper determined to avenge the death of his parents at the hands of the Paladins. Griffin's quest to find the killer spans exotic locales around the world.
