Codemasters has announced that they will be publishing Spark Unlimited latest title Fall of Liberty in Q4 2007 for PC, PS3 and Xbox360. The latest from the creators of Call of Duty: Finest Hour will place players in an alternate dimension where the Nazi's managed to invade America after WWII. Spark will be playing with the idea of 'what-if' scenarios to create the backstory: "In 1931, Winston Churchill was hit by a taxi on 5th Avenue in New York. In reality, he survived the accident but walked with a cane for the rest of his life. But what might have followed if Winston Churchill had been killed in the accident? Without his voice to lead a country to war, the events of WWII change dramatically; the Normandy invasion never happens and the UK and all of Europe come under Nazi rule by 1945. "
Fall of Liberty will be presented as a realistic alternate history with the Nazi invasion of the New York city coming on December 7, 1951. The title will see famous real-world locations under Nazi control, including Washington, all of Europe and the UK.
"We share a desire to immerse players in an incredible and intensely realistic vision of an alternative world history that will uniquely define Fall of Liberty in the FPS genre. Codemasters is providing Spark the opportunity to present something radically different than typical WWII scenarios as the player is not cast as a liberator of Europe but as a defender of freedom in enemy-occupied America," says Craig Allen, CEO of Spark Unlimited.
