Eidos today officially announced Project: Snowblind, a first-person action shooter under development at Crystal Dynamics for PS2, Xbox and PC.

John Chowanec, producer for Project: Snowblind at Crystal Dynamics said: " Project: Snowblind makes dynamic usage of high tech gadgetry and futuristic weapons in combat situations. This, combined with 16 player online action, will no doubt bring about a frenetic gameplay experience that gamers will want to experience. Project: Snowblind is the answer for those longing for a non-stop, action-packed ride."

Project: Snowblind is set in a near future Hong Kong, the year is 2065. 2nd Lt. Nathan Frost is just a regular grunt until he volunteers for a super-soldier transformation for an international army called the Liberty Coalition. A painful series of surgeries gives Frost extra-normal abilities via implanted enhancements, which place him on the frontlines of a war against a destructive regime. After a military coup leaves him stranded in hostile territory and cut off from command with only a handful of men, Frost must stop the militia' s secret weapon that threatens to plunge the world into darkness.

In Project: Snowblind you will be able to employ different bio-enhancements to augment your character' s attributes and physical abilities in a multitude of ways. You will also access to a wide array of weapons, demolition gear, and high tech gadgetry throughout the game. All primary weapons will have secondary fire options, allowing the weapon to perform duel tasks. High tech gadgets play an integral role in your character' s survival in Project: Snowblind. The gadgets and tools used in Project: Snowblind' s single player missions take on a whole new dimension when used in the online multiplayer game which will feature voice over IP support and classic FPS multiplayer modes such as deathmatch capture the flag, etc.

Project: Snowblind will be available for the PlayStation2, Xbox and the PC this Winter.
