Announced by TopWare Interactive, Scivilation is a new post-Apocaliptic third-person shooter has a release date window and platform set. For the Xbox 360, the game will be released on store shelves in Q3 2010. The games story was also revealed and we have a peek into the world that we'll be encountering.

Human civilization as we know it has ended at the hands of religious zealots desperate to bring about the Apocalypse.  What remains of society has been homogenized into a single culture, to be governed by the Regime - a theocratic, worldwide government intent to rob mankind of its most meaningful symbols.  A scattered front of old believers, named heretics by the Regime, have resorted to violent mobilization in order to carve out a niche where they might survive unmolested, and in the midst of this turmoil are Dr. Elisha Amano, a disgruntled Regime scientist who helped develop a paradigm-shifting, post-human supervirus; and Mikhail Ivanov, a cyborg and former member of the Russian special forces who was divested of his humanity fighting in the End Times.
