Frictional Games announces Penumbra Sequel

Penumbra 3 : Back With a Vengeance to be released worldwide Q1 2009

Helsingborg, Sweden - Frictional Games proudly announces the release of the third game in the Penumbra Series, named "Back with a vengeance". This highly anticipated chapter in the Penumbra story will have the protagonist making a final stand against the alien threat faced in Black Plague. "We really thought that the last game ended in a rather lame fashion and wanted the series to go out with a bang!", says co-owner Thomas Grip. "And what better way to create a bang than with an action-filled blood soaked ending! Everyone loves explosions and we feel that we need to cash in on that too!".

The game starts out as Philip awakens in a dark basement. Dazzled and confused he starts doing the only thing he can - pumping those muscles! By using his engineering skills he starts building one badazz gym and make sure no aliens will mess with him anymore. Full off steroids and 110% raw muscle strength, Philip sets out to destroy the alien threat with machineguns, bazookas and hand-to-hand techniques!

Main features include

- Physically simulated gym. At any point during the game, Philip can start pumping the iron!!
- Bucket loads of blood and gore!
- Timed button events to further enhance the action!!!
- A great arsenal with all kinds of guns, rifles and weapons of mass destruction!
- No bloody puzzles!!!
- Adults Only Rating!

You know you want it!!!!

"Take that you modda fogga!!!!!!" - Philip

[Ziggy Zagg]

Made me laugh.

Nice, are there any promo pics yet?

EDIT: Love the look of HPL2 btw!

[Penumbra]

Jeeze! Don't even joke about something this amazing!

[jo291]

that would be incorrect you see phillip wants the person he trusted to kill the tuurngait! not him so i knew this was a bluff. but if your going to make a penumbra realeted game its ether going to be his freind who he sent the letter to. or a prouloge with his father.

If we have to choose from these two, then game about his father would be better.

Lol nice .

One question, and one question only: Would you ever consider making a FPS game?

[eliasfrost]

That would just ruin FrictionalGames so hard! If they are going to do an FPS, i will start calling them FrictionalGays J/K.

But honestly, if Frictional makes a FPS, i will start ignore them, seriously.
