The action/shooter goes vertical, as Codemasters announces Damnation!

That’s right everyone, we’ve got an awesome new game for you! Here’s an excerpt from the press release to whet your appetites:

This winter is going to be an exciting one, and in the heat of the action, there’s certainly no time to catch a cold! Damnation has all the good stuff coming to you this winter: featuring huge, open environments, frenetic combat, daredevil acrobatics and high-octane vehicle-based stunts in a unique combination of fluid action and combat, the 3rd person action/shooter genre will never be the same as before.

Featuring vast, breathtaking landscapes, each covering miles of distance and thousands of vertical feet. Billed as a ‘shooter gone vertical,’ and visually inspired by iconic elements of American history, these massive streaming landscapes will form the battlegrounds for a post-industrial conflict between humanity and an unstoppable arms dealer hell-bent on total world domination.
