I Am Alive has been announced for Wii, Xbox 360, PC and PS3 by Ubisoft at E3 2008 as an all-new IP from the company.

The game is being described as a “survival-adventure” and takes place in Chicago which has been left in ruins after a massive earthquake completely devastates the city.

Players will be challenged to think, react and take risks that will directly effect not only themselves but also those around them.

An all-new teaser trailer demonstrates the sense of scale that the team at Ubisoft, along with infamous Assassin’s Creed producer Jade Raymond, help to achieve, along with an equally intense sense of fear and emotion that will naturally come along from living through a disaster of this magnitude. I imagine that 9/11 was a major inspiration for the game and that you will experience first-hand the death of loved ones who don’t make it out alive.

“Ubisoft continues to create new experiences for players and I Am Alive will appeal to anyone that enjoys a thrilling journey,” said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer, at Ubisoft. “The game will offer a rich palette of emotions while challenging players to make life-changing decisions.”

I Am Alive has a release date of spring 2009. Give the teaser trailer a look.
