The critically acclaimed game Rez developed by mastermind Tetsuya Mizuguchi and Ubisoft wowed audiences alike. When news broke that Mr. Mizuguchi, Q Games development studio, and publisher Ubisoft were teaming up yet again to bring another Rez inspired game it created a lot of buzz. Well the buzz is over, the game has been given a firm release date in summer of this year.
Expect Child of Eden to be hitting stores on June 14, 2011 and no later than June 17, 2011 in the UK and Europe. It will be available for both the Xbox 360 and PS3. Child of Eden will be playable on Microsoft’s new motion sensor technology Kinect and will also function with Sony’s version of the technology called Playstation Move. The game will also work with normal controllers if you’re like me and don’t like having to dance around like a chicken while playing video games.
In a past interview with IGN during last years E3 conference, developer Tetsuya Mizuguchi said of Child of Eden that, “This is a new frontier…”, and that the game should not be considered Rez 2 or a direct sequel to Rez but a standalone game on it’s own. He refers to Child of Eden as a drama, and not so much a rail shooter and points to it’s deep story. But all and all, the game is very similar to Rez almost to the tee and it will be up to players to decide whose telling the truth.
