K Games, the publisher of the critically
acclaimed BioShock® and Borderlands™, announced
today that Spec Ops®: The Line™ is currently in
development at YAGER for the Xbox 360® video
game and entertainment system from Microsoft,
the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system
and Windows PC. Spec Ops: The Line is a
provocative and gripping third-person modern
military shooter that challenges players'
morality by putting them in the middle of
unspeakable situations where unimaginable
choices affecting human life must be made.
"At the heart of the 2K DNA is the creation of
intellectual properties that provide consumers
with compelling narrative, heart-pounding
action, and worlds that come to life around
them," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.
"Spec Ops: The Line is the epitome of a 2K Games
title and incorporates all of our gameplay
values: immersive experiences that draw you in,
unique and innovative features that make you
rethink the way you play them, and an amazingly
high quality bar that is synonymous with the 2K
name. By meeting these core values, I'm
confident that Spec Ops: The Line will be a
great experience that people will enjoy playing
for years to come."
Spec Ops: The Line unfolds within the destroyed
opulence of Dubai. Once the playground for the
world's wealthiest elite, Dubai has fallen
victim to a series of cataclysmic sandstorms.
The city's ultramodern architecture lies
half-buried under millions of tons of sand. The
very sand that blankets the city plays a marquee
role in altering combat situations and serves as
a powerful but unpredictable force that will
both help and hinder players throughout the
course of the game.
While most people have fled the now-barren
wasteland before the sandstorms swept through,
U.S. Army Colonel John Konrad and his loyal
squad remained behind to protect those incapable
of escape. Unable to reach anyone in Dubai after
the storm hit, the U.S. Army feared Konrad and
his team dead until they picked up a weak
distress signal and launched a rescue operation.
As U.S. Army Captain Martin Walker, you and your
elite Delta Force team are sent to infiltrate
the treacherous region to bring Konrad home.
Players will experience "The Line", that razor's
edge known only to men who deal in war. It is
the line they cross when death and duty become
one and the same. It is the end - of self and
sanity - when their duty is done and only they
remain.
"The production of Spec Ops: The Line has been a
tremendous experience for YAGER," said Timo
Ullman, managing director at YAGER. "Our close
collaboration with 2K Games over the course of
this production has allowed us to achieve our
goal of giving players a unique and exciting
gaming experience in Spec Ops: The Line. YAGER's
goal is to always push the boundaries of what is
possible and exceed players' expectations in
every production."
Spec Ops: The Line underscores 2K's commitment
to deliver original and innovative single and
multiplayer experiences to current generation
consoles and PCs. Spec Ops: The Line will take
that commitment to the next level by providing
players with a new and exciting multiplayer
experience that offers a unique perspective on
the single-player storyline.
Spec Ops: The Line is not yet rated by the ESRB.
The title is planned for release during
Take-Two's 2011 fiscal year, which begins on
November 1, 2010. For more information, please
