Cipher Complex was an upcoming military-themed stealth-action video game being developed for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 by Edge of Reality.[1] Commenced in 2004 and announced in 2006, the title was signed to Sega in 2007,[2] but in July 2009 it was revealed that the the game had been canceled by its publisher earlier that year after nearly half a decade of work, as noted in the LinkedIn profile of a former producer at the studio. Further details surrounding the cancellation and the game's fate remain unknown to this day.[3]
Plot
The official synopsis, as quoted from the game's original press release is as follows:
U.S. surveillance satellites detect activity onboard the decommissioned Soviet Bargration Missile Defense Station 4 off the east coast of Siberia. When the Russians deny the U.S. access to the facility, Department of Defense strategists suggest that a small, plausibly deniable reconnaissance mission be sent in to investigate. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is given the go-ahead for operation BLACKOUT, the insertion of a single expert Operator on Russian WMDs and launch facilities. Lt. Col. John Sullivan, callsign: Cipher is air dropped in, and what was supposed to be primarily a reconnaissance mission becomes a race against a terrorist threat; one with implications that will shake the foundations of American democracy and freedoms.
Gameplay
Edge of Reality was hoping to revolutionize the stealth-action genre. The main character carries out various actions with speed, precision, strength and cunning stealth to neutralize enemies.
The first gameplay footage from Cipher Complex was leaked online in June 2010 via Dailymotion.[4] Similarly, part of a cutscene from the game was released via a demo reel for Mark Bristol, the lead narrative designer.[5]
