New Story, New Game, New PC Shooter

Vancouver, WA (July 9, 2002) Massive Development studio (a unit within the JoWooD Group) dives back into its well-known underwater world of “Aqua” with an all-new action-packed PC shooter: AquaNox: Revelation. Releasing this Fall worldwide, AquaNox Revelation is an underwater adventure rich in story, gameplay and technical details.

Set in the year 2666 AquaNox: Revelation is the tale of a young undersea freighter pilot named William Drake, who takes off in search of his ancestor’s mythical treasure. Unfortunately for the player, Drake is not the only treasure-hunter beneath the waves. 10 other characters are in the hunt as well. Some are greedy and ruthless while others may offer Drake unexpected help on his perilous voyage.

AquaNox: Revelation is a high-energy first-person shooter where players take the helm of a wide variety of submarine battleships, and use these vessels’ deadly weaponry to send their enemies to the bottom. The game features a totally re-vamped engine that includes a brand-new enemy AI system as well as support for complex models and character animations. Most impressive are AquaNox: Revelation’s lighting effects that bring Aqua’s sinister but beautiful underwater cities to life in striking detail.

With its gripping story, challenging gameplay and spectacularly realized undersea world AquaNox: Revelation is a action game that shouldn’t be missed.

Massive Development was established in 1993 by Alexander Jorias, Ingo Frick and Oliver Weirich. The studio's first game, Archimedean Dynasty, was hailed as a revolution in the German developers' scene. The continuing work on the studio's krass engine, which has also been externally licensed, has added to the studio’s formidable reputation.
