Fishtank Interactive announced today that they have signed the worldwide publishing rights for the action game "Chaser," and the company plans to ship the game in Fall of 2002. Built on the new "CloakNT" graphics and game development engine, "Chaser" promises exciting new breakthroughs in gaming experience and graphics. The game, developed by Cauldron Limited, is based on the adventures of a security agent in a futuristic and hostile Mars colony.

"The 'CloakNT' engine provides the means to create a gritty, science fiction landscape teeming with hostility and danger, and provides an unparalleled interactive gaming experience," said Jerry Wolosenko, head of Fishtank activities in North America. "'Chaser' will bring a new kind of gaming experience to even the most sophisticated gamer."

In the year 2086, poverty and corruption on Earth has driven desperate people to colonies on the surface of Mars. Chaser is an agent of a security agency who has lost most of his memory after a botched covert operation. He has no idea why the military goons want to eliminate him, how he got blacklisted by the gangs, or why people around him are dying. Chaser only knows that he's in big trouble, and he's got to find answers... yesterday.
