American McGee would be so proud. Konami has announced a new upcoming third-person action title called
Lords of Shadow, which the company's European arm describes as "a dark fairy tale" in development for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. First announced during
Leipzig's Games Convention, the game will be set in Europe during the Middle Ages, and promises to tell the story of "one man's journey to discover the true meaning of sacrifice amidst murder and betrayal." Honestly, this sounds more like fodder for daytime soap to us.
Being handled by
Jericho developer Mercury Steam, the project is likely the result of a partnership between the two companies
announced last March, at which time Konami called the game "a major part" of its release schedule for 2009-10. Konami has now narrowed that window a bit, confirming plans to have
Lords of Shadow on retail shelves sometime in 2010.
