Looks like we were spot on with the second game Bleszinski was set to announce. Bulletstorm is a new first-person shooter due for release in 2011 from Epic Games and People Can Fly for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. EA’s publishing, as expected.

Bulletstorm is set in the 26th century where a group known as the Confederation of Planets is one of the most dominant forces in the galaxy. Protagonist Grayson Hunt is one of their best men, where under General Serrano, leads a team on a special mission to assassinate a man allegedly responsible for countless deaths. However, as they make their way towards the enemy, a “manipulative and psychotic side” to the protagonist is revealed. People Can Fly won’t say exactly how, for story purposes.

Grayson ends up a drunken pirate ten years later, with his only friend being a cyborg named Ishi Sato. Roaming through the galaxy, he bumps into the ship of General Serrano, where he rams it and both his and Serrano’s ship go hurdling towards the planet Stygia. That’s where one of the game’s first long (20 minute) cutscenes kick in and the prologue ends. Many of the cutscenes actually show Grayson, who’s not very politically accurate in his speech, rather than give players a first-person view.

The first-person shooter will have an online component, which the team thinks is going to “kick-ass” but they’re “not ready to reveal [multiplayer] yet.” They pretty much shot down any hope for co-op, using story-elements as a defense.

The visuals look amazing. Look forward to the announcement Monday. This is one you’ll want to keep your eye on.
