This game looks to be awesome.. can’t wait to check it out! It launches September 8th, but here’s some info for you to hold you over, I’ll have some more soon…
Have you ever wondered what could happen if time travel was a reality? Have you ever thought about the possibility of going back in time to rewrite history for the better? That possibility is a reality in Darkest of Days, where players will travel back and forth through the annals time to relive some of mankind’s most dire hours. By fighting through terrible events such as The Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest conflict of the Civil War, and vicious battles from both World War I and II, the player will attempt to save certain key individuals who were never meant to become involved in these truly monstrous events and thereby change human history for the better.
In Darkest of Days, you take on the role of Alexander Morris, an unlucky foot soldier who gets transferred to General Custer’s regiment days before the Battle of Little Bighorn. Moments before his inevitable demise, a futuristic time agent warps in to save Morris and transports him to the future where he is told that time travel is now a reality. However, an unknown faction is attempting to re-write history for their own benefit. Your job is to stop them, and you’ll fight your way through eras spanning thousands of years to do it.
Here are a couple of links to videos that will better help illustrate what the game is all about:

In addition to being able to travel across different time periods and visit historically accurate battlefields all in one game, one of the aspects about Darkest of Days that has got gamers around the world so excited is the ability to take futuristic weaponry with you back through time to tip the odds of a conflict in your favor! Imagine the advantage of going back to the Battle of Antietam with a fully automatic assault rifle, or taking out a row of advancing German troops in World War I with a shoulder-mounted missile launcher…
