LOS ANGELES
– October
30, 2007 –
Sierra
Entertainment,
a division
of Vivendi
Games,
announced
that the
next
generation
of
first-person
shooters,
TimeShift™,
is
officially
available
today at
retail
stores
nationwide
for the PC
and Xbox
360™ video
game and
entertainment
system. The
game, one of
the most
talked about
titles of
2007, will
also be
available on
the
PlayStation®3
computer
entertainment
system on
November 19,
2007.
Developed by
Saber
Interactive
and
published by
Sierra
Entertainment,
TimeShift,
allows
players to
control time
and use it
as the
ultimate
weapon in a
fierce
battle
against the
neo-fascist
regime of
Dr. Krone.
In TimeShift,
the story
revolves
around a
highly
respected
physicist
with a
mysterious
past. When
your
colleague
Dr. Krone
goes rogue
and uses an
experimental
time-manipulating
suit to
create an
alternate
time stream
where he is
a grim
dictator in
a dystopian
alternate
reality,
players must
chase after
him and use
time to
overthrow
his rule.
Armed with
similar, yet
less stable
time-bending
suit,
players have
the ability
to slow,
stop and
reverse the
flow of
time, while
being able
to freely
interact
with the
environment
and enemies,
a feat never
before
accomplished
in video
games.
Featuring
ground-breaking
artificial
intelligence,
powerfully
realistic
graphics and
deeply
immersive
sound and
story,
TimeShift is
proving to
be one of
the first
truly next-gen
games to
come to
market this
holiday
season.
“We are very
excited to
ship this
highly
anticipated
title to
retail,”
said Pascal
Brochier,
president,
Global
Retail for
Vivendi
Games.
“Players are
going to see
effects in
this game
like they
never have
before – the
ability to
control time
is a very
unique
feature,
which is a
lot of fun
to play in
single or
multiplayer
mode.”
With a
comprehensive
online
16-player
multiplayer
mode,
featuring
time
controlling
“chrono”
grenades, 14
different
maps and
over 40
different
customizable
features,
TimeShift,
was
developed
for elite
multiplayer
gamers by
drawing
inspirations
from the
best FPS’s
and adapting
itself to
the players’
unique style
by
incorporating
highly
customizable
gameplay
modifiers
resulting in
a frenetic
and
competitive
multiplayer
experience
every game.
The
TimeShift
video game
has an ESRB
“M” for
Mature
rating. For
