AquaNox 2 publisher JoWooD has revealed that the game's storyline will run parallel to the conflict in the original game. After years of turmoil atop the planet earth, humanity has fled to the deep, dark oceans which now offer a stunning backdrop to peculiar power struggles - and new threats.

The star of the game is one William Drake, a freighter pilot (delivery boy) who yearns for something else. To begin with, his lust for action causes him nothing but trouble, but as he grows in strength and experience - in the hands of the player - he meets new companions, like the beautiful May Ling, and together they take on ever more deadly forces. Just as they begin to fall in love - aw!

The story should play a significant part in Massive Development's AquaNox 2, with conversations and dialogue delivered within the ships and buildings of the world - in a style shown off by this week's batch of nine new screenshots.

AquaNox 2: Revelation is still pencilled in for a Q1 2003 release.
