News: Call of Duty: Finest Hour developer unveils Legendary: The Box.

Gamecock has announced they've partnered with Spark Unlimited to bring Legendary: The Box to PCs and "next-generation platforms."

Legendary: The Box tells the story of Pandora's Box (and all the assorted monsters and beasties) being unleashed on the modern day.

?Like most developers, we've always had a dream game that we've secretly been working on,? said Craig Allen, CEO of Spark Unlimited. ?We've made a name for ourselves with World War II first-person shooters, but Legendary: The Box is our labor of love. It's a thrill to work with Gamecock; they want to see the game completed exactly as we envision it.?

?If there is one genre that needs a shot in the arm, it's the first-person shooter,? said Harry Miller, Head of Development of Gamecock Media Group. ?Spark's Legendary: The Box is going to be a classic, in terms of story, game-play and technology. I'm inspired by where they're taking the genre.?

The plot of Legendary: The Box can be summed up like so:

Legendary: The Box tells the story of Charles Deckard, an art thief who is duped into stealing Pandora's Box. When he opens the box, he releases hordes of beasts thought to be fictional ? such as werewolves and gryphons ? into an unprepared modern world. A full scale war between man and myth begins, and it is quickly complicated by the actions of powerful secret societies. As the person responsible for releasing this terror, Deckard's unwittingly become the only person capable of containing it once more and saving civilization from being destroyed by the terrifying creatures of the box.

We'll have more on Legendary: The Box soon.
