Set in the near future, TimeShift from Saber Interactive will take the first-person genre to an entirely different dimension marked by erratic time and unrelenting action. TimeShift transports gamers to a steampunk-inspired world characterized by a predominance of metal, machinery, and steam power. Individual rights have been eradicated and a tyrannical leader rules ruthlessly with an iron fist.

Gamers assume the role of renowned test pilot Colonel Michael Swift who recently lost his only daughter to a bus accident. Bleak, depressed and desperate for an escape from his misery, Swift decides to accept a recent offer from the US Government. Armed with a time-control device called the "Quantum Suit" and a time machine called the "Chronomicon," Swift sets out to test the most significant inventions of the century. He is briefly sent back in time to 1911 to plant an experimental probe. Upon his return to the present, a shift has occurred. The world he left has changed beyond all recognition. And his knowledge of this timeshift has made him an enemy of the state. Swift is now both on the run and on a mission to set time straight once again.

Here are some key features of "Timeshift ":

· Time control elements never before seen in a first-person shooter – players can slow, stop and reverse the flow of time, affecting the world and enemies around them while moving freely through frozen worlds
· Time shifting obstacles will challenge the players to think in four dimensions in order to overcome difficult scenarios and defeat challenging enemies
· Next-generation graphics technology in the Saber3D engine, including normal mapping for amazing high-detailed textures and characters as well as parallax lighting, which allows the environment to come alive with detail
· Deep storyline involving time travel and betrayal, in a completly different time stream
· A wide array of unique weapons from varying time periods, including plasma guns, hybrid grenades, full action pistols and the dreaded "Swarm Cannon"
· More than 35 combat missions, each one featuring time shifting elements and challenges standing in the way of completion
· Online multiplayer options that allow players to use their time shifting powers against other human adversaries
