BlackFoot Studios has inked a deal with Epic Games to license Unreal Engine 3 for Sky Gods, which it calls a "military tactical action game" for PC, 360 and PS3.
Correct us if we're wrong here but the game 'Sky Gods' doesn't ring a single bell in our heads.
BlackFoot says of it: "Sky Gods will focus on a complete co-operative game experience centring on Special Forces operations, specifically HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) and helicopter insertion missions. BlackFoot Studios plans a worldwide release of Sky Gods via digital distribution in the first quarter of 2009."
Sounds a bit like Warhawk to us and not just in the way it's being delivered.
"BlackFoot Studios has a rich history of working with Unreal Engine 3, and we are proud to support their efforts with technology and tools that help them ramp up quickly and minimize risk," said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games. "It can be especially tough for smaller teams to tackle cross-platform challenges, so we feel great about getting behind these guys."
Basically, it's a realistic, tactical shooter. Imagine the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon games updated to current game standards.
