Harker new survival horror title for Xbox 360

The Collective, a division of Foundation 9 Entertainment, yesterday said they were working on a new game for next generation consoles including the Xbox 360 which would be available in 2008. Harker is described as a survival horror genre game which is inspired by the horror novel Dracula. Notes from the press release state that "in the game, players take on the role of a very different Jonathan Harker - hardened and ruthless - who is on a very personal mission to destroy all vampires after his beloved Mina falls prey to Dracula. Gameplay involves a combination of hunting these ferocious killers through tracking and exploration, along with an up-close and personal combat system, brutally-effective in the execution of the vampires; using a variety of weapons and environmental factors.

Harker will bring to life the underbelly of the 18th Century World, taking players into diverse locations, areas never explored in history books, in a gritty, realistic art style that will fully immerse players in their environments. The game also features an incredible roster of blood-thirsty, shape-shifting vampires each with their own savage abilities, sometimes hiding in plain sight; the player may never know just how close they are."
