Four new screenshots of Splash Damage's Brink emerged from publisher Bethesda this morning, offering a fresh look at the next game coming from the Quake Wars veterans.

It doesn't really come across in the screenshots, but Brink is a class-based single- and multiplayer first-person shooter coming to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in spring 2010.

New screenshots of Quake Wars developer Splash Damage's shooter Brink dive deep into the city's dark underbelly--a stark contrast to the gleaming metropolis seen before.

Set in a dystopian future, the squad-based shooter packs singleplayer, multiplayer and co-op, earning experience shared across all three modes for character development.

Brink is due on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in spring 2010, published by Bethesda.

After releasing a lush Brink trailer last week, Splash Damage follows up with equally gorgeous screenshots, along with the first snippets of gameplay information.

Brink is a squad-based shooter featuring singleplayer, multiplayer and co-op. Experience points--used to upgrade skills and abilities--earned in all three modes will contribute to the development of your character.

Missions are generated dynamically depending on your role, status, location and squad mates, and a context-sensitive "SMART" movement button helps players arrive smoothly.

Brink is scheduled for release on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation in spring 2010.

Next on this big night of pre-E3 trailers is Splash Damage's Brink. The multi-platform title is in development for publisher Bethesda, and is set for a spring 2010 release.
