After a top-secret consignment, codenamed ‘Whiteknight’, is lost in the deepest jungles of Vietnam, a team of Special Operatives are sent in to retrieve it, only the team, one by one, mysteriously disappear. One month later, however, a single soldier emerges from the jungle, crazed and deranged, as though some thing has torn his mind apart - and that thing has followed him out of the jungle.

That’s the basic set-up for Shellshock 2: Blood Trails, a new first-person war game in the Shellshock franchise that focuses on horror and fear as opposed to mindlessly shooting enemies. General Manager of Eidos Game Studios, Lee Singleton, explained:

“Shellshock 2 is very different to any first person shooter you’ve seen before; at times it feels more like you’re in a horror movie than a game. Survival takes on a new meaning as you fight against all sides of the conflict: your enemy, your allies and the victims… the casualties of Whiteknight, an enemy that ultimately has no side.”
