Following yesterday's Hollywood Reporter story, Codemasters today officially announced the development of Clive Barker's Jericho. As mentioned yesterday, the action horror game will be released late next year on PC and next-gen consoles. You can find three screenshots here.

Clive Barker's Jericho deals with the mysterious reappearance of a lost city in a remote desert. When a form of evil that goes right back to the dawn of days resurfaces from there, a Special Forces squad, trained in both conventional warfare and the arcane arts, is sent in. Their mission: Hunt down and destroy the evil that lurks at the heart of the city before it destroys humanity. "Players will constantly be given new challenges, new environments, and yes, new horrors and abominations to face every step of the way," continues Barker. “However, unlike a conventional game in which the characters are attempting to escape at the end of their ride through Hell, our protagonists have a much more difficult task. The closer they come to the end of their trek into darkness, the nearer they get to the source of that darkness: Evil Incarnate, we'll call it for now..."
