Cipher Complex is an unreleased stealth-action video game that was being developed for Microsoft Windows, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 systems by Edge of Reality.[3] The game was first announced in June 2006, by which time it was reported to already have been in production and self-funded for two years; the title was then signed with SEGA in 2007,[4] but in July 2009 it was revealed via that the game had been cancelled by the publisher earlier that year after over half a decade of work, as noted in the LinkedIn profile of a former senior producer at the studio. Further details surrounding the cancellation and the game's fate in their entirety remain unclear to this day,[1] however, more recently, a U.S. federal trademark registration was filed on September 11, 2009 and has been granted a first extension as of October 28, 2010.[2]
Plot
The official storyline, 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.[5] Part of an early cinematic as well as some character animations were later posted via the same site in March 2011.[6]
