Hellion: Mystery of the Inquisition Announced

Flying Fish Works has today announced a new “first person shooter”, for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.If you’re wondering about the speech marks, they’re because the game is set during the 13th century Medieval Inquisition, so we’re not exactly sure how much shooting there will be. However, developer Flying Fish Works has described it as such, so who are we to argue?The player will take control of an agent of the newly-formed Inquisition tasked with battling heretics and demons as well as performing exorcisms. The action will be wrapped in an “epic plot” which will see humanity teetering on the brink of doom.“Our vision is to create a historical fiction game that will put the player in the center of the medieval world, full of its cruelty, intransigence and diversified beliefs,” said Flying Fish Works’ Simon Grabowski.”In this ruthless reality, the player will become an eyewitness of great political machinations, unseen brutality and betrayal. He will pave his way to the truth just to find that it is more horrible and dreadful than anyone could imagine.”The game is due for release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 next year.
