The world is falling apart with war, disease, insurgency, and starvation rampant among humanity. The only hope lies with the Nexus Corporation, a U.S. funded group using volunteer convicts as experimental guinea pigs in an operation called "Project Daybreak." Utilizing Project Daybreak, the Nexus Corporation studies time travel to find the means to cure the world of its problems.
Developed by Trilogy Studios, Daybreakers puts players in the role of undercover US secret operative Nolan Reeves who is asked to enter the world of the criminal underground, joining the Nexus Project and time traveling in order to find the three escaped convicts. Upon returning from his task, Reeves finds that the only people aware of his mission, of his existence – have been killed. From this point forward he must rely on the ability to manipulate the relationships with those in the world around him: inmates, factions, and the corrupt officers and officials who permeate Nexus Island. The only chance of freedom is to survive the time jumps and hope that someday his sentence will be reduced enough to grant him freedom.
"We would like to be the first team to truly monetize the online gameplay of first-person shooters," said Trilogy Studios CEO Michael Pole. "First-person shooters traditionally have not done a very good job of rewarding players. The way they reward players is that you run through a level, shoot everything on the level, finish the level, and you go to the other level and get a bigger gun. Our goal and our objective is to get a player a sophisticated and very detailed level of gameplay that hasn’t been delivered in first-person shooters by offering gamers a moment-by-moment reward system versus a level-based reward system."
No details have been given yet as to when the game will release, however, it has been stated to be coming to PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
