Characters and Trailer for Tornado Outbreak

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
today revealed new details and character descriptions from Tornado Outbreak, the
new action adventure game launching this fall on Wii, Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION
3. Harness the power of a raging tornado as you tear through open environments,
chewing up the landscape and spitting out everything in your path. Tornado
Outbreaks revolutionary new game mechanic puts some of the Earth’s most powerful
elements in your hands. The characters you will play and do battle with include:
Zephyr: Zephyr, leader of the Wind
Warriors, possesses the power of wind and the ability to transform himself into
a raging, column of air that can level anything in his path. He worked to create
atmosphere on lifeless planets but a chance meeting with a strange being named
Omegaton changed the game. Zephyr’s mission dictates that he helps those in need
but meeting this purposefully deceptive anti-hero will challenge all that he
knows. His strength, wits and abilities will be put to the test as a cosmic
battle for supremacy lands on Earth. No one is safe.
Nimbus: Once the fearless leader of
the Wind Warriors, he is now the wise leader second in command. Nimbus stands
strong beside his protégé Zephyr passing on the knowledge and abilities he’s
learned over the years. Nimbus also possesses an innate ability for mechanical
know how which is invaluable to the existence of his team. His ability to
calibrate and decipher the L.O.A.D STARR which provides cloud cover on Earth and
allows his sidekick Zephyr to possess his destructive abilities are vital to
their mission.
Wind Warriors: They are the unnamed,
fearless and elite squad that stands proudly behind their leaders Nimbus and
Zephyr. The Wind Warriors sole purpose is to lend support to whatever mission
the leaders deem necessary. Later in the story the Wind Warriors become an
integral tool in the ultimate defeat and destruction of their earthbound nemesis
Omegaton. Without the Wind Warriors Zephyr and Nimbus would be nearly
defenseless.
Water Whirls: Zephyr born from wind,
calls upon all forces of nature to accomplish his Earthly duties. Seemingly
delicate to the point of being fragile, Water Whirls are calm, tranquil
creatures. The Water Whirls donate their ability to traverse large areas quickly
and smash objects like a tidal wave. Only through the Elemental forces working
together is there any hope of capturing the Fire Fliers and restoring balance to
save the Earth.
Fire Fliers: Wreaking havoc on two
worlds might make the Fire Fliers seem evil by nature but maybe they’re just
misunderstood. They are mischievous little buggers with no capacity to
understand the consequences of their actions. To them the incursion of Earth is
nothing more than an endless game of hide and seek, but their actions on Earth
cause more chaos and challenges for our unlikely hero than he’d hope for. Fire
Fliers posses important powers which is why Zephyr needs to find them, collect
them and ultimately destroy them.
Omegaton: Once the greatest hero of
his universe, until his enemies joined forces and exiled him to another
universe. Omegaton has been slowly dying after being stripped of his orbs of
power and without them his fate is sealed to a cosmic grave. Dispersed somewhere
on Earth, the Wind Warriors lead by Zephyr have been tasked to help find his
sources of power through Omegaton’s deceptive coercion. The story will reveal
that all that’s known about Omegaton may not be true and his mission is not what
it seems.
