CDV, Nival and Noviy Disk to Unleash Night Watch the Video Game

CDV Software Entertainment USA announced today that they will expand their 2006 gaming portfolio by publishing Night Watch, a tactical RPG for the PC. Based on the most successful Russian-made movie ever, a film that director Quentin Tarantino described as “an epic of extraordinary power," the Night Watch game will ask players to take part in a millennia-old struggle of supernatural forces; a conflict of which ordinary humans are either completely oblivious, or in which they are unwittingly being used as pawns.

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.
