News: After shifting time for their last game, developer Saber Interactive will now challenge the laws of gravity.



It's beginning to look like challenging the laws of gravity might become the new trend in games as Namco Bandai has announced they will be publishing Inversion next year. Developed by Saber Interactive (the team behind 2007's TimeShift), Inversion is currently scheduled for a release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Like its title implies, Inversion will thrust players into a game world where the laws of gravity have been inverted, thanks to a nasty alien invastion:

Set in the near future, the tranquil peace enjoyed by mankind shatters with an unforeseen invasion by an unknown enemy called the Lutadore. Armed to the teeth with futuristic gravity-controlling weapons, the Lutadore easily overrun the city's defenses. Unbeknownst to all, mysterious anomalies have surfaced in conjunction with the invasion. Random regions in the city have entered zero gravity or have suffered vector changes, throwing the world into topsy-turvy chaos. Assuming the role of Davis Russel, a hotheaded 28-year-old cop, or Leo Delgado, Davis' neighbor, players will embark on a journey through the war ravaged gravity twisted disorienting streets of their home town and beyond, to find Davis' missing child.




To traverse this brave new world, players (in either single-player or co-op play) will be outfitted with a gadget Saber refers to as "The Grappler" (which seems to be a combination of the Bionic Arm from Bionic Commando and Doctor Octopus' tentacles):

Featuring the Grappler weapon, players will be able to manipulate gravity for their own purposes. The Grappler can be used in countless combat situations by maneuvering massive objects as shields or projectiles, and moving camped enemies out of concealed cover so they can be blasted away. The Grappler is also a key tool for tactical situations and puzzle solving as players can lift, move, or create cover objects at their whim. The awesome power of gravity is right at players' fingertips. Additionally, Inversion is one of the first games to feature the Havok 'Destruction' engine which bestows Inversion with massively destructible environments including an elaborate cover system.


We'll have more soon.
