Mastiff and Renegade Kid Reveal
THE ENEMY as the Writers Behind Moon
"Are you seeing this, General? – My
people are all dead! What the hell did you lead us into here?" – Major Kane.
Mastiff and Renegade Kid are proud to announce that they have teamed up with
writers James McDonough and Adam Patyk (Hellboy, Transformers and much more) of
THE ENEMY to turn the dark and twisted storyline into something even more
ominous.
"Working on Moon has been an
absolute blast," said writer Adam Patyk of THE ENEMY. "The fantastic gameplay
and striking graphics are some of the first things you notice about the game,
and that played a big role in why we were so excited when Mastiff asked us to
get involved in helping to refine the characters and story for Moon."
Taking place on the cold lunar
surface in the year 2058, Moon places gamers in control of Major Kane of the
Extra Terrestrial Encounter Organization, who has been summoned to the newly
established Lunar Base Alpha to investigate what has been described as a sealed
hatch embedded in the surface of the moon. His briefing is interrupted when a
hostile force sweeps through the base, annihilating everything and everyone in
its path. It is now up to Major Kane to enter the hatch and seek out the truth
that lies below the surface of our Moon.
"Without the preconceived notions of
an existing franchise, working on Moon gave an opportunity for everyone involved
in the game’s production to really work from the ground up and modify
characters’ roles and motivations to best serve the story and produce the most
entertaining final product," said Patyk.
"We are definitely excited to have
had the opportunity to work with creative minds at THE ENEMY," said Bill Swartz,
Head Woof at Mastiff. "They have been an absolute pleasure to work with and we
feel that players will truly appreciate Moon’s rich character development and
deep storyline."
Look for Moon in stores this
November.
