August 28, 2007 - A development team based in Santiago, Chile, is using Valve's Source engine to create a new first-person action game.
Zeno Clash is being built around up-close, first-person melee combat and is set in a "punk fantasy" world, according to Valve and newly-formed developer ACE Team.
The first chapter of the game is set in a chaotic world in which the main character, Ghat, has been banished by his own brothers and is forced to journey across a forbidden desert.
ACE Team is a new studio comprised of professional game designers, artists, and programmers who have worked on a number of games for both PC and Xbox Live Arcade platforms, according to a joint statement sent out by Valve and ACE on Tuesday.
The Source engine is the core technology behind Valve's Half-Life 2.
"Working with Source gives us the features, tools, and flexibility we need in an engine to bring to life a game world beyond anything seen before," said Andres Bordeu, game designer with ACE Team.
The game is scheduled to be released sometime in 2008.
