Atari grabs Legendary: The Box

By Robert Purchese Published 11 October, 2007

Distributing in Europe.

Atari has revealed that it will be distributing Legendary: The Box in Europe.

It is the first-person shooter being developed by Call of Duty: Finest Hour and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty developer Spark Unlimited, which will be released on PC, 360 and PS3 next spring.

The story revolves around a cheeky thief called Charles Deckard who is tricked into stealing Pandora's Box. And like the legend goes, he simply cannot resist having a peek inside, resulting in hordes of gruesome creatures being released into the world.

Spark Unlimited's goal is to deliver a cinematic story set against the backdrop of a crumbling New York and London, with enormous set pieces featuring fantasy beasties and big guns.

Pop your head into the jaws of our Legendary: The Box gallery to see how it is shaping up.
