Abduction is a rather interesting looking stealth game in development using the CryEngine 3, and while it seems a bit dark in the literal sense, there’s a reason for it. According to the developer entry over on the CryDev forums, Abduction players must use the “coat of the darkness” to maneuver and kill their enemies in the game. Players will be able to use rig rooms, traps, and spying techniques to dispatch their enemies, gain information, and progress. You can have a look at the game’s progress through the link, where you’ll find plenty of screenshots and a list of fixes and additions in the works. Thanks, RPS.

Those who pre-order Southpeak actioner Velvet Assassin through GameStop will receive a 15+ page digital graphic novel as a thank you.

Based, as is the game, on the life of WWII spy Violette Szabo, the graphic novel was designed by Peter Chung, the creator and director of Aeon Flux.

Chung previously had his hand in The Animatrix and The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury animation projects.

Velvet Assassin releases for PC and Xbox 360 on April 14. While we’re on the subject, IGN has three new in-game screens posted for it here.

Following the publication of first solid Deus Ex 3 story details yesterday, an Eidos Montreal staffer’s added a few more tidbits in a mail to Voodoo Extreme, including confirmation that the light-shadow stealth system from the previous games has been dropped.

Deus Ex 3 is indeed an RPG. It’s a hybrid action/RPG just like the first game. There is a skill system where you upgrade your character (Adam) based off experience points you earn and you can do the same thing with weapons. It’s a game with a very detailed plot with numerous characters you interact with. The gameplay takes the form of a consequence-driven multi-path, multi-solution approach in a non-linear space.

For stealth, that is another major pillar of gameplay and we do have it. The difference is that it’s now cover-based rather than “shadow/light-based” as in the past games.

More through there.
