Deep Black: Episode 1 now available on Xbox LIVE Arcade

Deep Black: Episode 1, the first installment in an episodic underwater-themed shooter series, is now available for download on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 800 Microsoft Points. Also for those who wish to try the game before purchasing, a trial version of the game is also available to download for free.

In this arcade-style game the year is 2047. Natural resources are sparse, espionage and bio-terrorism are rampant and the world has split into two warring factions – each intent on destruction. Deep Black thrusts players into this struggle where they become involved in the fight for global domination and the possession of a sophisticated biological weapon.

Fans take on the role of an elite commando who must engage in covert operations both underwater and on ground. Armed with high-tech weaponry, power armors and equipment, gamers must master their survival skills in order to fight enemies and infiltrate enemy bases.

Deep Black: Episode 2 is scheduled for release on Xbox LIVE Arcade this summer.
