Kalypso has announced in a press release that their action/adventure title The First Templar for the Xbox 360 and PC has achieved gold master status and is on target for its scheduled release date, May 10 in North America and May 5 in Europe.
The First Templar is a co-operative action adventure game, set in a dark and gritty portrayal of the late 13th Century during the Crusade where old friends become enemies, corruption spreads throughout the Church and once noble knights oppress the weak and renounce their oaths.
The game features a campaign that can be played solo or with two player co-op. When playing solo, the player can switch freely between the two characters, leaving the control of the second hero to the game’s AI. At any time, a second player may join in and take control of the second hero.
