Phantom EFX and 8monkey Labs announced today that their historically-based first person shooter, Darkest of Days, launches today for both Windows-based PC and the Xbox 360.

Beginning today, Darkest of Days is available for purchase for $49.99 on the Xbox 360 and $39.99 on PC at most major retailers and online from www.phantomefx.com. Digitally distributed copies will be available as well from Steam, Direct2Drive, Digital River and other outlets.

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 of 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 both World War I and II, the player will attempt to save certain key individuals who were never meant to become involved in these events and save history from those who would attempt to change it.

Something nearly every gamer that's ever played a shooter based in the past has always wanted is the ability to bring a futuristic weapon back through history and wreak havoc. How differently would Custer's last stand have turned out if the General was equipped with an M-16 assault rifle? You'll be able to answer questions like this in Darkest of Days. While not every battle and situation will allow you to wield weapons from the future, there will be plenty of opportunities.

Darkest of Days is not just mindless run-and-gun, blow 'em up gameplay. You'll have to not only think about how to approach certain key battles and situations, but you'll also have to take care when fighting. Certain key people that were never meant to die will be marked with a special blue aura. If you kill them, you'll face dire consequences.

Darkest of Days is rated M for Mature for blood, strong language and violence. Check out www.darkestofdays.com for more info. Darkest of Days, launches today for both Windows-based PC and the Xbox 360.
