The developer behind Ubisoft's on-hold survival title I Am Alive has announced its new project. Black Death is a first-person horror game that puts players in a New England choked with a mystical fog that mutates the population into strange, violent creatures.

Darkworks intends for players to experiment with creating their own chemical weapons and testing them out in combat against the unusual foes they are surrounded by, and ultimately control the fog that is the source of the scourge.

Not all of the infected people you meet are fodder for your weapons, though -- you'll have the option to cure your foes if you choose that path.

No word yet on publisher or release date. Black Death is currently slated for PS3, 360, and PC

Well that's about as wide open for interpretation as it gets.
by BTAG Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:05 PM

It sounds pretty interesting to create custom chemical weapons.

cool
by Big Lou Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:07 PM

Oh no! This game will teach our children chemical warfare!

Black Death aka bubonic plague, cause that would be a cool game where you are racing to save everyone from it.
by the forerunner Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:08 PM

isnt the "black death" another name for the bubonic plague?
by the stig Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:09 PM

Looks like it has lots of potential. Combination of Alan Wake, Metro 2033 and Call of Duty.

Closest thing we'll get to Earth No More?
by Miss_Robot Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:10 PM

This sounds pretty cool!! Ill take the wait and see approach but i like what im hearing so far!!
by Undertaker Adrian Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:11 PM

very nice. A game that adds more thought than the regular "point and shoot" sounds a bit refreshing. I'm guessing vials of acid will be thrown to, and I'm hoping here, the effect of holy water in Red Dead.
by Slowe Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:12 PM

Hmm...sounds interesting. Cure the infected or test a new chemical weapon you just made?.....I sense I'm gonna have a stock pile of different weapons and not a whole lot of company hehe
by bioshocker Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:12 PM

I could definatly see the plot of this game involving the bubonic plague somehow. And it will be nice to play a (survival?) horror FPS with an involving storyline. I can't wait to hear more about this one. :)

It will probably be like I Am Alive announced with no gameplay to be seen for a long time.
by Lord Death of Murder Mountain Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:14 PM

Sounds kind of like The Mist.
by InfiniteJacuzzi Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:15 PM

Truthfully, I liked the sounds of I Am Alive more. Both are interesting, though.
by Osko12345 Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:17 PM

Doesn't sound very scary.
by PainK94 Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:19 PM

Nice idea, creating bio-weapons and saving people sounds cool.
by NirvanaFreak Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:30 PM

Methane gas! YEAH!
by Cru Hunter Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:33 PM

I'm interested to see how the player is 'immune' to the fog's affects. Maybe it's as simple as donning a gas mask. That, or the player doesn't breathe. I wonder what's going on that they would hold production on I Am Alive to announce they're working on something else.
by BFMV IM999 Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 05:34 PM

This game sounds very interesting.

Trailer please?
