Black Wing Foundation Announces Salvation for Xbox 360 and PC

Black Wing Foundation announces its new video game, Salvation, currently in development for PC and Xbox 360. The game, powered by Valve's Source Engine, is developed in cooperation with N-Game Studios. Salvation is a third-person shooter game set in the near-future. The world government, making use of genetic engineering managed to successfully imitate the Judgement Day and establish new stiff rules – a new 'Regime'. World war and death of genetic replicants of Christ and Antichrist drastically changed the mindset of people. Now they are creatures without the right of opinion, they are slaves of the 'Regime'. An army of Angels, genetically cloned humans, are watchful of keeping the order. Any dissidence threatens either death or exile to Hell – a cybernetic virtual reality system, causing a human to suffer unbearably.

The main characters are people from various climes, with different past, but common present, united by one key idea and goal, the desire to topple down the new Regime, destroy the system of Hell and Paradise. To return peace and order to earth, revenge for themselves and their folks,.. but accomplishing this is not easy, the forces are too unequal in this fight...

The path of the heroes lies through multiple challenges leading to the truth hidden in the lies of New Government. Taking up roles of Narumi Amano, a genetically modified assassin, Sergei Thor – captain of east European resistance cell and Alexander Geist – a rather cynical psy-powered smuggler, the player will play through seventeen missions grouped into seven episodes, ultimately defying lie and injustice.
