X-Files fans, rejoice! Fox Interactive has brought one of
television’s most popular sci-fi shows, the X-Files, to the
PlayStation. Aren’t you just bursting with all sorts of
alien excitement? Assuming the role of either Fox Mulder
(David Duchovny) or Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), The
X-Files game is a live-action adventure that will put your
alien-sniffing abilities to the test as you unlock the
mystery behind alien beings living among us. Through your
adventures, you’ll run across some familiar faces, including
such stars as FBI Assistant Director Skinner, the Lone
Gunmen, and the Cigarette Smoking Man.

"We're pleased to incorporate new technologies which allow
us to successfully immerse these gamers into solving an
'X-Files' mystery with the best video ever seen on the
PlayStation," said Jon Richmond, president of Fox
Interactive.

The X-Files game will be utilizing a new game engine titled
VirtualCinema. This new engine enables the highest quality
video footage ever to grace the PlayStation, and since the
X-Files adventure spans across four discs, you can bet that
there’s going to be a lot to look at.

In addition to the cast, gamers will also recognize some
familiar areas from the show as well -- 30 to be exact. The
areas include places such as morgues, FBI offices, motels,
labs, warehouses, businesses and residents.

Not much else is known about the title, but rest assured, as
soon as more information is released, we'll leak it to you.
