Phantom Ops: Shadow Harvest

Trailer offers a glimpse behind enemy lines in Viva Media's stealth-action thriller.

New York, NY October 6, 2010 – When tyrants and warlords threaten the well-being of International Law, it’s the job of those few, of those skilled to protect the world and maintain the veil of secrecy. These men and women are the unsung heroes, the soldiers who get the job done even behind enemy lines. Often going unheard and unnoticed, but certainly felt – at least by their enemies; they fight a war of high stakes that civilians will never even know about.

Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops takes you to the bazaars and ruins of war torn Mogadishu, the decadence of Dubai, and the barrios of Cuba, tossing you into the throes of danger. Play as ISA special agent Myra Lee and Aron Alvarez in this Stealth-Action thriller, where you truly keep your enemies closer than your friends.
