Undercover: Operation Wintersun – Meet Dr. John Russell
Hamburg, Germany: June 29, 2006 - The
adventure experts from ANACONDA are giving a new detailed
look at the protagonist of the upcoming hit adventure game
Undercover: operation Wintersun. In the role of Dr. John
Russell, players will take on a most dangerous and critical
mission: recruited by the British intelligence service MI6,
he is sent deep into the heart of the Third Reich at the
height of the Second World War to track down information on a
secret German program to develop a weapon of mass
destruction.
Dr. Russell is a renowned researcher in the field of physics
and a brilliant mind. When MI6 manages to obtain explosive
Nazi documents, he is called in to give his expertise. The
documents point towards the development of a new, devastating
weapons system by German scientists, but they are not
conclusive. Further intelligence is critical and can only be
retrieved in Nazi Germany itself. MI6 is dependent on
Russell's expert knowledge - he has to be sent into the Third
Reich. An immense risk for the agency, seeing as Russell is
not a trained agent and far from an action hero.
Yet, MI6 has no choice but to take that risk: too horrible
the thought that the Nazis succeed in constructing such a
horrific weapon and nothing had been done to stop them.
And so Russell soon finds himself on the way to Berlin. He
receives some help from an agent that accompanies him into
enemy territory, but this professional can't follow him on
all his excursions into the heavily guarded institutions of
the Nazi war machine. The closer Dr. Russell gets to the
horrible truth, the more he realizes that the fate of the
world rests in his hands alone! A dangerous game is afoot,
for an undercover spy can never let down his guard for even a
minute...
Even though the story of Undercover: Operation Wintersun is
fictitious, it is grounded in historic facts, framed both by
authentic details and actual events, as well as myths and
speculation about the Third Reich. Intricately designed
backgrounds, detailed 3D animation and many cinematic
cutscenes create a frighteningly real atmosphere.
ANACONDA will release the adventure game Undercover:
Operation Wintersun by the end of September. It is being
developed by the Austrian team of Sproing.
