Capcom stop the fighting, put away the guns, and offer us something a bit different.
Capcom today confirmed it will be publishing Everblue for PlayStation 2 this Spring.
Developed by Arika, the creators of the incredibly successful Streetfighter franchise, Everblue is an adventure game with a unique twist. Taking the role of Leonardo, a novice undersea diver, the challenge for players is to explore and discover the magic and mysteries of the Daedalus Sea and ultimately find the treasure that has haunted Leonardo’s family for generations.
Starting the game on dry land, it isn't long before players will be donning scuba gear and exploring the sea bed for buried treasure. On returning from each dive, gamers can sell any recovered items to traders in town, and use the funds to purchase upgrades to their diving gear. This will allow dives to last longer and reach greater depths, thereby expanding the area that can be explored and the potential to discover greater treasures amongst coral reefs and sunken ships. Interaction with the inhabitants of the town will also provide specific information about the location of treasure and the opportunity to undertake missions set by them.
"Everblue is a truly unique title for PlayStation 2," commented David Miller, Marketing Director, Capcom Eurosoft. "Not only is it the first diving adventure game on the system, but its mixture of adventure and RPG elements combined with the attention to detail of the underwater scenes give it wide-reaching appeal."
Everblue is due for release in April.
