Hellion: Mystery of the Inquisition coming in 2010 photo

German studio Flying Fish Works has today announced a brand new and allegedly "extraordinary" FPS, Hellion: Mystery of the Inquisition. Currently in development for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, the undeniably interesting setting happens to be the 13th Century.

"As an armed man of the newborn Inquisition, the player will battle heretics, execute exorcisms, face demons and unintentionally become part of a political and religious intrigue," explains Flying Fish Works. "Realizing that all of mankind is standing on the verge of doom, he will have to use all the physical and spiritual abilities he ever acquired to face the fiends of hell and, finally, discover the Mystery of the Inquisition."

A number of "real-life" characters have been promised, hinting that we may run into a few Medieval historical figures, while the studio is aiming for a ruthless and cruel vision of 13th Century life. It sounds really quite intriguing, and I'll definitely be keeping it in mind. The game is scheduled for 2010, and hopefully we'll see some screenshots soon. 

In the mean time, hit the jump for the press release and check out the moody concept art.

Frankfurt, Germany / Gdynia, Poland, March 24th 2009 – Today Flying Fish Works announces their upcoming product “Hellion: Mystery of the Inquisition” coming on XBOX360, PS3 and PC in 2010. The team is using the latest technology to present an outstanding reality, authentic locations and impressive combats within the 13th century. “Hellion” also represents an epic plot set in a lively medieval world charged with upgradeable exorcisms and uncompromising brutality according to this period.

As an armed man of the newborn Inquisition, the player will battle heretics, execute exorcisms, face demons and unintentionally become part of a political and religious intrigue. Realizing that all of mankind is standing on the verge of doom, he will have to use all the physical and spiritual abilities he ever acquired to face the fiends of hell and, finally, discover the Mystery of the Inquisition.

“Hellion” is an epic journey through different medieval cultures full of real-life characters, wild animals, rough warriors, powerful Templar knights, deadly assassins and, ultimately, horrifying demons.

“Our vision is to create a historical fiction game that will put the player in the center of the medieval world, full of its cruelty, intransigence and diversified beliefs. In this ruthless reality, the player will become an eyewitness of great political machinations, unseen brutality and betrayal. He will pave his way to the truth just to find that it is more horrible and dreadful than anyone could imagine.” says Simon Grabowski, CEO at Flying Fish Works.

Hm..Mystery of the Inquisition. Either the Inquisition was right to burn all those people who happened to have moles or some other "sign of witchcraft", or it was wrong and happened to be run by demons. Interesting....

The fact that they are shooting for an accurate portrayal of the 13th century has piqued my interest.

I think it's safe to say that nobody expects the mystery of the inquisition. Their two chief weapons are fear and surprise... and efficiency. Their three chief weapons are fear, surprise, efficiency and a ruthless devotion to the po... Amongst their weaponry are such diverse elements as...

Does this mean we're going to have shitty guns? Don't even bother with aiming I suppose.

I hope we don't get to parts of the Inquisition era where they end up murdering the Jewish and Moor population... ¬_¬

Will it actually strive to be accurate to history, or is it just more anti-Catholic black legend stuff?

FYI, if it is set in the 13th Century, the Moors and the Jews won't (or shouldn't) make an appearance. It will be the Albigensians in southern France.
