Sammy announces Spy Fiction

Shifting gears away from its aerial and combatic flair, Sammy Studios has announced the develoment of <b>Spy Fiction</b>, an all-new stealth action title scheduled to hit the PS2 platform in Spring 2004.

The story is based around the exploits of an underground espionage agency knowned as S.E.A. Upon receiving a video document of onimous messages from a terrorist organization, the S.E.A dispatch a strike team to quell an diabolic plot which threatens the entire world.

Unlike most stealth action games which typically feature one lead charcter, <i>Spy Fiction</i> offers two playable characters with distinct abilities, allowing players to alternate between agents after each mission to utilize their special skills. Anime fans should be especially impressed by the variety of impressive character designs created by Japanese illustrator Renji Murata of <i>Blue Submarine</i> fame.

<i>Spy Fiction</i> utilizes a number of unique espionage elements which allow the player to become invisible and even assume the identities of others (think Hitman 2) to avoid detection. In addition, the game will feture a vareity of action-driven mini games in which the player must use a vareity of tools such as a rappelling harness or hang-glider to infiltrate enemy areas.

We'll continue to debrief you with more updates as they become available.
