Konami reveals Zephyr: Rise of the Elementals

Konami Digital Entertainment announced that Zephyr: Rise of the Elementals, a game for Xbox Live, WiiWare, and PlayStation Network is in the works and will be published in North America this fall. In the game Sinister forces have deceived you to believe that your destructive behavior will save an epic hero - when in reality, you’re working for evil.

Players take control of a tornado to tear through open environments, chewing up the landscape and spitting out everything in your path. The more you destroy, the bigger you grow as you work against time based, collection and point challenges in the search for hidden elements and enemies from another world. Zephyr provides sandbox type gameplay with real time destruction in a simple to play game style.

In co-operative multiplayer two players drive through environments picking up and tossing everything standing in their way in an effort to battle against the evil Omegaton. The items in a player’s path range from the usual rusted tractors and rustic farms, to the strange and unexpected as you tear your way through increasingly complex and crowded areas around the world. Through large open worlds, users can take control of how objects are damaged and destroyed with the active destruction game mechanic. For added replayability, players can complete multiple missions and destroy different objects within environments to maximize each level and earn extra points.

Zephyr: Rise of the Elementals is being developed by Loose Cannon Studios.
