The Scourge Project hits Steam in March; new trailer now
Tragnarion Studios has released the first trailer for it's upcoming episodic shooter for PC, Xbox Live Arcade and PSN, The Scourge Project. The trailer sports Unreal-powered graphics and paints a picture of a bleak world in which a monstrous menace seems to have infested all walks of life. The gameplay should be familiar to fans of third-person shooters, and appears to bare more than a few similarities to Gears of War (huge soldiers, space bugs, the color brown, etc.). As previously announced, the game will featured co-op for up to four players as well as multiplayer for up to sixteen players. It's also slated to have "a unique focus on co-operative narrative and gameplay," in which different characters have a different perspective on the story. The Scourge Project: Episodes 1 & 2 will hit Steam this March, with XBLA and PSN releases to follow.

The game, powered by the Unreal Engine, promises "a unique focus on co-operative narrative and gameplay," in which each of the four playable characters will have a unique perspective on the story. From a more meat-and-potatoes standpoint, the game features five hours of gameplay over four levels, nine different weapons and co-op for up to four players (each with different special abilities). The Scourge Project also offers versus multiplayer for up to sixteen players and includes deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag and "Frontier." The game certainly seems to be packing some graphical chops, especially compared to Tragnarion's previous project for the DS, a puzzler called Doodle Hex. The game is expected to debut on Steam this month, while the XBLA version is scheduled to arrive in March 2010. The press release does mention a PSN version of the game, though it doesn't appear in the body of the text. We've contacted Tragnarion to see if the PSN listing was legitimate or made in error.
