Spiders previously showed Mars at GDC as a PlayStation 3 and PC exclusive. Today, the company has officially announced the action RPG for not only the PlayStation 3 and PC, but the Xbox 360 as well. Seems that Phyre Engine comes in handy for multiplatform games.
Mars is an action RPG that puts players in either the role of Seth, an elite soldier with a dark past, or Pandora, an ambitious technomancer. Each of their destinies will cross as you play through the game across the broken planet that is Mars.
Mars will release on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC at the end of 2010.
We have the first screenshots at the gallery and the first clip here. Read on for the press release.

Mars is an action RPG for next generation consoles. It blends the sensation of power and rhythmic aerial battle of beat’em alls with the progression, immersion and storyline of RPG’s in a dark and dreamlike post apocalyptic universe.
In Mars you play the role of Seth, an elite soldier with a dark past, or Pandora, an ambitious technomancer, experiencing two different gameplays thanks to the fact that each character played independently from the other has different backgrounds, skills and features.
In the destroyed world of Mars, two destinies mingle together. Two beings searching for their identity travel across a broken planet, constantly facing bloody political conflicts which tear the old colonies apart. Often divided, sometimes fighting the same enemies, both are the source of the advent of a new era…
Mars will be released end of 2010 on PC, Xbox360 and PS3.
