Description
In the Night Watch universe, there are people among us who appear ordinary,
but who are different; they call themselves "Others." These Others can channel
magical power as devastating attacks and defenses. Those who support the forces
of light are known as the Night Watch, while those that fight on the side of
darkness are the Day Watch. These two sides have been locked in an epic battle
with the common hope of one ultimately claiming a decisive victory and a right
to rule the world.
Developed by Nival Interactive, the studio that created the critically acclaimed
Blitzkrieg and Silent Storm series, Night Watch will ask players to take on the
role of a recently initiated Other as he strives to comprehend the mystical
powers he has recently discovered, and to make sense of the role he plays in
this epic struggle that could very well determine the future of mankind.
