Det har længe været et rygte, men nu har firmaet Novalogic annonceret, at de er i gang med spillet Black Hawk Down bygget på de virkelige hændelser i Mogadishu og naturligvis filmen af samme navn.
Spillet blev ganske vist annonceret på E3, men firmaet havde på dette tidspunkt ingen screenshots til os. Det gør de så nu.
Her er hele pressemeddelelsen efterfulgt af tre screens:
"CALABASAS, CA (May 22, 2002) - Entertainment software developer and publisher NovaLogic, Inc. today confirmed plans to develop and publish the next generation of the multi-million selling Delta Force® franchise for the PC, the Xbox™ video game system from Microsoft and PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system.
Set in Somalia in 1993, Delta Force - Black Hawk Down is based upon and around the Operation Restore Hope and Task Force Ranger campaigns and follows members of the elite Delta Force and US Army Rangers as they participate in a number of daring raids against the oppressive Somali warlords in and around Mogadishu.
Developed using an enhanced version of NovaLogic's cutting edge graphics engine, Delta Force - Black Hawk Down combines stunning visuals and a gripping, hard hitting storyline with the gritty and realistic combat elements that have made Delta Force one of the world's most popular Tactical-First-Person-Combat franchises.
"In Operation Restore Hope the men of Task Force Ranger fought a fierce battle in what is now recognized as the war on terrorism," said Lee Milligan, President of NovaLogic. "In Delta Force - Black Hawk Down, gamers will step into the shoes of US Special Operations Forces tackling some of their most dangerous missions," he added. "We dedicate this game to the men who were there, to Delta Force, Rangers, Navy SEALs and the 160th SOAR."
Delta Force - Black Hawk Down is scheduled to ship on PC CD ROM in Q4 of 2002, with Xbox™ and PlayStation® 2 versions to follow in 2003."
