na-4-20070917143321_perspective-box-case-art-lo_jpg_100 Yet another first-person shooter is coming our way, courtesy of Dusk2Dawn Interactive. The publisher has announced Lockdown, promising it will offer “lots of frenetic shooting action elements and an explosive storyline”, among other things.

The game is in development at StarFish Game Studios, having players take on the role of Cale Mollens, a new recruit to Earth’s most powerful spaceship which pirates are attempting to take over. Apparently, the spaceship has enough firepower to destroy a planet (Star Wars, anyone?) and it’s up to the player to stop the bad guys once again.

?I?m really excited about the ?trust? element in this game,? said Neil Cotton, Director at Dusk2Dawn Interactive Limited.

?Along the way the player will get helpful briefs and radio comms from fellow crew members, but one thing that should strike players quickly is: if this is the most powerful spaceship in the galaxy, how did the pirates get on board so quickly? Maybe there is a traitor in the ranks?

?The crew members will try to help in a situation, but they won?t always give the right answer, however does that mean that they were trying to kill you, or were they simply wrong, maybe they?re panicking under the pressure. That?s for the player to work out!

?The script has been cleverly written to keep the player alert when taking advice.?

The game will feature 21 levels and will be released in Europe this November.
