Clive Barker's Jericho

Overview

Jericho is an FPS published by Codemasters. It is the third game to feature the involvement of horror writer Clive Barker (including EA's Undying and the canceled Demonik). In it the player takes charge of the seven-man Jericho squad as they investigate the Middle Eastern city of Al Khali. They fight through several historical eras, such as World War I and the Crusades, encountering enemies from each period. At the center of the city is the Firstborn, which God created before Mankind.

The squad uses a combination of conventional firearms and supernatural powers (including pyrokinesis and telekinesis). Players can posses any member of the squad to use these powers, revive injured members, and issue squad commands.

Clive Barker in one of his recent interviews stated that he is currently working on the a sequel and gave fans the hint on where it will begin, in a ship with hundreds of children at the middle of the sea. Clive Barker also asserted that this game will be a trilogy. An exact release date is yet to be confirmed by Codemasters.
