Sega announces Headhunter 2

"Headhunter: Redemption" is the gripping story of Jack Wade, a veteran Headhunter keeping order in a futuristic world overrun with unchecked consumerism, vicious organized crime and mind-controlling mass media. When Jack and his prot?g?, the sassy, streetwise Leeza X, stumble upon an arms smuggling operation that threatens the status quo, they must work together to deliver an oblivious world from impending catastrophe, confronting their darkest fears beneath a chilling shroud of evil that blankets the city.

Taking place in a world divided, "Headhunter: Redemption" features two disparate, symbiotic realities - "Above" and "Below." "Above" is a glittering metropolis of glass and steel towers, whose citizens are controlled by ever-present media and the powerful corporations behind it. "Below" is a subterranean colony, home to criminals, undesirables and misfits, sent down by the society "Above" to work in return for the right to survive.

"'Headhunter: Redemption' delivers a blockbuster twist on the stealth/action genre," said Mike Fischer, vice president of marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "Blending a twisting plot reminiscent of Hollywood thrillers and cinematic production values with frenetic third-person combat, turbo-charged driving and strategic stealth scenarios, 'Headhunter: Redemption' is definitely a glimpse at the darker side of SEGA."

The sequel to the acclaimed SEGA Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 release "Headhunter," "Headhunter: Redemption" continues the story of the first game 20 years after the devastation caused by the Bloody Mary virus.

This game is not yet concept approved by Sony Computer Entertainment America.
