Nintendo News | More Survival Horror on Wii

Following Escape from Bug Island and the revelation of two Resident Evil games, a new survival horror title has been announced for Nintendo's Wii.

Playlogic Entertainment has announced that it acquired Obscure II from French Developer Hydravision. A PC and PlayStation 2 release is planned for the third quarter of this year, with a Wii release in the final quarter.

The game is set two years after the events of the first game. The characters have gone on to college where horrifying events overtake them once again.

Players choose from one of six playable characters and are joined by an AI sidekick. Other players can join in at any point for some co-op action.

"I am extremely pleased that we added Obscure II to our line up. The first instalment was well received by both press and public. Hydravision has pushed the envelope with Obscure II and I am confident that the game will do even better then its predecessor."
- Stefan Layer, VP of Marketing & Sales of Playlogic International N.V.

"Obscure II displays refined talent in every aspect, from high attention to visual details and optimised control schemes; and a dense and intense in-game atmosphere. It' is a thrilling and unique game with polished game features; an incredible experience."
- Dominique Morel, CTO of Playlogic International N.V.

"We are happy to work together with Playlogic on Obscure II; they meet all of our expectations and I'm sure that their expertise will be very positive for the game. The two-person cooperative gameplay of Obscure II has been fully optimised. I think players will love this game."
- Denis Potentier, CEO of Hydravision.
