Another glimpse at I Am Alive

A new trailer gives us another glimpse at Ubisoft’s I Am Alive, a game that has had a wobbly start in life back in 2008.

Originally in development at Darkworks studio, with Ubisoft as the publisher, news on the development went quiet until the title reappeared again in mid 2011. Ubisoft’s Shanghai studio is now completing the development with no official release window yet announced.

I Am Alive is going to be a digital download game launching on PSN and Xbox LIVE Arcade, with PC apparently shunned at this point with piracy cited as a major consideration for that decision.

According to Ubisoft, I Am Alive looks set to be a post-apocalyptic 3rd-person adventure romp, through a post-disaster human world in which players “are faced with thought-provoking choices”.

I Am Alive follows an everyman’s journey to find his wife and daughter, who were lost during the “Event”. A year later, he finds Haventon, his hometown, in shambles. Buildings are destroyed, toxic ash fills the streets, and society has been torn, causing inhabitants to take all necessary actions to survive.

The video below gives us a glimpse at the apparent gameplay mechanics, such as exploration in the dangerous environment looking for tools to aide your survival, meeting with other survivors, and some platforming.

And the visuals? Well watch the trailer and decide for yourself.
