Save the universe, or die trying.
Majesco today announced Advent Rising, the first title in a trilogy of games for the Xbox (and apparently for the PC according to the game's official site). Advent Rising is a third-person, action-adventure game that features a heavy dose of interactivity and science fiction storyline penned by famed novelist, Orson Scott Card - who will also pen a novel based on the game. Both are scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2004.

The main storyline for Advent Rising is about a legend that foretells of an all-powerful race that will unite the universe, The race, known throughout the galaxy as "humans", are both feared and revered as mythological saviors. One race in particular, The Seekers, take a proactive role in finding the humans and destroying them in a bid to preserve their own power in the universe. The Seekers embark on a search for any Humans in the galaxy and attempt to eradicate them. The story begins when Gideon Wyeth, a remnant of the last human outpost, on the brink of discovering the incredible powers that lay dormant within him. It is these powers the Seekers are so desperate to suppress and luckily for people playing the game, Gideon just happens to be the person they get to take control of. Developed by GlyphX Games, Advent Rising is being built using Epic's Unreal Warfare Engine, Advent Rising offers precise, refined play-dynamics with action-packed adventure and style, wrapped in a visually imaginative universe.

Majesco says that Advent Rising will be unveiled via a specially created game trailer at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, May 14-16, 2003. For more information, check out the game's official web site
