It's been awhile since we've last taken a peek at what the folks of Fishtank Interactive have been up to. Known for a number of exciting action titles, including Arx Fatalis, Etherlords and the upcoming release of Aquanox, further down the horizon lies yet another title, entitled Chaser, that promises to intrique the sci-fi types and destined to offer a rich, gaming experience.

Developed by Cauldron Limited, Chaser is set in the not too distant future, a time when poverty and corruption on Earth has driven desperate people to colonies on the surface of Mars. The game focuses on a security agent, known as Chaser, who has lost most of his memory after a botched covert operation. Uncertain as to why the military seeks to end his existed, why he was blacklisted by gang members, or the cause of the people's suffering around him. One thing is certain, Chaser is in grave danger, on all fronts, and he needs to find the answers...yesterday.

Chaser features an all new "CloatNT" graphic and game development engine, which provides the means to create a gritty, science fiction landscape teeming with hostility and danger, and provides an unparalleled interactive gaming experience," said Jerry Wolosenko, head of Fishtank activities in North America. "'Chaser' will bring a new kind of gaming experience to even the most sophisticated gamer."

Designed to provide an fresh and exciting breakthrough in gaming experience and graphics, Chaser certainly is the game to keep an eye on in the coming months. Below is a breakdown of the game features, we'll continue to provide additional updates as they become available.
