Falcone: Enter the Maelstrom

Falcone: Enter the Maelstrom is a cancelled PS2 and Xbox game from Point Blank Studios. It is also known as Falcone: Into the Maelstrom.

Plot
The plot would revolve around Gabriel Falcone and his struggles against his leader, Black Dog. A new threat, called the Legion, has emerged from Maelstrom, a supermassive black hole. You must eliminate them before they take over the galaxy.

Gameplay
Falcone was to be a space pirate/FPS hybrid. You would fly a ship in space like Starlancer and board ships. Once you board a ship it becomes a first person shooter experience.

There was to be 12 single-player missions and 5 multiplayer deathmatch maps. Some sources say 20 single-player missions but that's probably an error.



Cancellation
Falcone: Enter the Maelstrom was cancelled in 2002 for reasons unknown. The reason was possibly financial trimming, as Titus bought them out in early 2002.

Virgin Interactive, then known as Avalon Interactive, let the copyright expire in 2003.

The general gist of the game was later used in Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter.
