PhysX-powered FPS Warmonger Hits October 16

Sep 18, 2007 6:08pm CST tags: PhysX, Warmonger
Independent developer NetDevil's oddly named physics-intensive FPS Warmonger, Operation: Downtown Destruction arrives on PC via digital distribution on October 16.

"Warmonger offers a unique environment for fans of FPS games, where no place is safe, and seeking good cover is a challenge rather than a given," said lead producer Chris Sherland. "Test sessions leave a player with a strong emotional reaction to this...it's downright scary to play!"

Powered by Epic's Unreal Engine 3, the game features destructible environments thanks to its use of the AGEIA PhysX technology. In all, Warmonger contains five different weapons and six different maps.

Today's announcement neglected to mention exactly where gamers will be able to acquire the game, though the game's official site will likely provide more information as its release approaches.

"Warmonger's real-world, real-time properties offer gamers a whole new dimension in gameplay they can enjoy over and over again. They will have a blast discovering new terrains, sniper positions, and other game elements they’ve never had a chance to try out before," mused AGEIA CEO Manju Hegde. "We're pleased to see what a forward thinking game developer can accomplish with our card. By incorporating PhysX, NetDevil brought to life some of the most compelling game experiences ever seen in a game."
