No Escape from the web

Funcom, who are best known for their stunning adventure game "The Longest Journey" and the forthcoming massively multiplayer sci-fi role-playing game "Anarchy Online", have just launched the website for their latest project - "No Escape". Due by the end of the year (in Scandinavia and the USA at least), it's an off-the-wall online action game in which up to eight players battle it out across a series of 18 planets for the no-holds-barred TV show "No Escape". Contestants include an Italian secret agent, a psychopathic robot called Barry, a Western gun-slinger, and a militant rock singer called .. wait for it .. Bratney.

A playable demo of the game is due for release in the near future, but in the meantime the website includes information on all of the contestants and weapons, as well as a list of the planets they will fight on and a whole host of screenshots and rendered scenes. It's certainly shaping to be one of the more .. interesting multiplayer action games of the year, so if you want to find out more head over to the No Escape website now!
