Clive Barker’s Jericho – New Trailer Inside
Codemasters sends us all a Halloween present
In case you hadn’t registered what day it is today, let SPOnG remind you. It’s All Hallows’ Eve, the increasingly popular Pagan festival where we encourage our children to terrorise the innocent, steal sweets and beg food from our neighbours.
We only remembered this ourselves when Codemasters sent us the latest details and new trailer on the next gen/PC horror game that is Clive Barker's Jericho earlier.
Jericho, described as a, ‘phantasmagorical FPS hand crafted by the acclaimed horror writer and filmmaker’, is a squad-based horror FPS, in which you are charged with leading the eponymous Jericho Team, a seven-man strike force that protects government interests from paranormal threats.
As with all Barker’s horror yarns, dimensional rifts, clairvoyance, alchemy, blood magic and exorcism all feature heavily in the game.
The spooky storyline is described as follows, “Clive Barker’s Jericho leads the Jericho Team toward a source of ancient evil so supremely powerful that it has broken through time into our world and is threatening to engulf the Earth. At ground zero lies the Middle Eastern city of Al-Khali, the site of a huge, secret archaeological dig and paranormal research centre, now the heart of a dimensional rift….Players must navigate Al Khali’s labyrinthine of streets, alleys and structures, moving block by block in search of the rift. As the squad approaches the target, the city now crawling with hellish denizens emerging from the source, the team is forced to rely less and less on traditional weapons and instead on harnessing their combined psychic abilities to defeat the supernatural nemesis no matter how horrific their looks or attacks may be.”
Check out the trailers right here to get a good idea of how it’s shaping up:
MPEG4 XviD (7.4M)
Quicktime (8.5M)
Windows Media (9.1M)
Clive Barker's Jericho is due late 2007 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
