New Alien Conspiracy Shooter Due in Late June

Sega seems to think it's found its new footing, according to an announcement spotlighting its best upcoming releases for the next year in preparation for E3.

Included in that release were seven titles. The one hitting stores soonest is The Conduit, developed by High Voltage Software.  High Voltage Software has been making games for 14 years, spewing hits like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, and All-Star Baseball 2001.  Never in a rut, High Voltage has done games for a broad range of audience and styles, lke Tom Clancy, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Liesure Suit Larry.

Their new upcoming shooter for Wii, The Conduit, has players swapping between human and alien weapon tech, scanning for invisible puzzles and lifeforms, and plunging forward into doom as the conspiracy becomes a deadly invasion.

The graphics and gameplay are state-of-the-art, or rather a bit better.  Control inspiration was taken from the newest Metroid; content flow, from Halo; and the graphics engine is all-new.  Programmers pushed the Wii's abilities to the red line with The Conduit's graphics engine, delivering visuals that look more like a PS3 game. 

Below is a trailer of The Conduit which is due for release June 23, 2009.
