In a surprise move, Ubisoft revealed that the FPS Haze would debut solely on the PS3 this fall. Ubisoft’s fact sheet listed only the PS3 and did not mention the PC and Xbox 360 versions and although the American Haze site still displays the Xbox 360 and PC logos, the UK Haze site only displays the PS3 logo, leading to speculation that it may be PS3 exclusive. However, Ubisoft have confirmed with Gamespot that ‘Haze is leading on PS3, but no exclusivity for any platform has been officially announced.’

Developed by Free Radical, Haze sees players assuming the role of a new recruit, Sergeant Shane Carpenter, in the privately run Mantel army. The game is set in 2048 where governments have outsourced military operations to Private Military Corporations (PMC).

Mantel Global Industries is the leading PMC, offering an arsenal of vehicles, weapons and Nectar, a performance enhancing bio-medical support. Mantel troopers are feared by terrorists, dictators and the corporation’s political enemies. Players find themselves in a war-torn country with orders to fight the Promise Hand, a cruel rebel faction. Over the next three days your life will change forever.

Players will fight the Promise Hand using Mantel’s resources, the most advanced gear, the fastest vehicles, the deadliest weapons and Nectar. Players will be able to boost their fighting abilities with Nectar Focus, Nectar Foresight, Nectar Perception and Melee Blast, using these skills to detect and avoid danger and deliver close quarter powerful attacks. Players can also look forward to engaging in multiplayer modes for online battles including four player co-op action.
