Kalypso Media has today announced The First Templar, a new action-adventure game currently in development by Haemimont Games for both the PC and the Xbox 360.
The game, set in the late 13th century, follows the story of a French Templar and his lady as they uncover the mysteries behind the Templars and eventually go on to discover the secret of the Holy Grail.
It'll include both single-player which allows the player to switch between the two characters, or you can play in co-op with a friend.
It's scheduled for a Q1 2011 release.
Here's a small fact sheet detailing some of the features:
- Fast-paced cooperative play: players can assist one another as each takes on the role of the game's key characters. Drop-in/out cooperative gameplay lets the AI take over when one player leaves the game.
- Single player- two characters: Play as either character, switching roles as you go to use the best skills for the job.
- RPG inspired character development: each has their own skills and skill paths, which the player can develop as they complete missions and explore the game world.
- Rich, historical game-world: return to the 13th century, where European culture is on the brink of collapse. 20 historically accurate locations have been recreated for the player to explore.
