Survival horror fans who own an Xbox 360 will be happy to hear the announcement of Deadly Premonition. A third-person survival horror game exclusively for Xbox 360 from developer Access Games. It will be released in March of 2010 for $20!

This horror action title puts players in the role of the intuitive FBI Agent Francis York Morgan. In the process of investigating a murder, players will examine a series of interlocking mysteries in a remote rural town and will encounter an array of complex characters pivotal to the unraveling of the storyline’s mystery.

Suspenseful action sequences will force players to make strategic moves, gliding by enemies in the shadows or engaging them with long-range weapons or hand-to-hand melee combat in a system that looks like a nice mix of Resident Evil and Silent Hill.

The developers promise that Deadly Premonition will offer “unparalleled atmosphere and music” along with a mysterious storyline where you will be driving vehicles and exploring an entire town. It will “offer players a unique and haunting interactive gaming experience unlike any other.” We’ll see about that.

Here is the debut trailer for the game.

“Deadly Premonition is an intense and unforgettable action game that we are thrilled to add to Ignition’s 2010 lineup,” said Shane Bettenhausen, New Business Development Director of Ignition Entertainment. “The gifted developers at Access Games have created a game that will undoubtedly heighten players’ senses as they dive deeper into the mysterious town, eerie story line and action-packed interactive elements.”

“Ignition Entertainment has done an incredible job finding and targeting each game’s primary audience and we could not be more excited to team up with them to publish Deadly Premonition,” said Hidetaka Suehiro, Director, Access Games. “We’ve developed the graphic styling and game play of Deadly Premonition to uniquely trigger the suspenseful emotions in every player. We promise an astounding ending if you can meet the challenge to solve the mystery and make it there!”
