Phantom EFX + PAX = Darkest of Days Free For All

Phantom EFX is bringing its upcoming Xbox 360 and PC time-traveling FPS, Darkest of Days to this year's Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), which is being held from September 4-6, 2009. The single-player story driven shooter, which is looking pretty darn cool, features the debut of 8monkey Labs' Marmoset game engine, which can display massive battles with hundreds of active AI participants, destructible environments and in the PC version, full NVDIA PhysX support. Go try the PC demo out, if you don't believe me - it's pretty smokin'...

The company's CEO, Aaron Schurman and some of the 8monkey Labs dev team will be there (Booth #878, by the way) with demo stations for both versions and plan to trick their booth out "like a giant bunker, complete with sand bags and a REAL, FULL SIZED CANNON." Eek - Destroy All Fanboys, indeed. To add to that bit of visual punch, expect to see booth beefcake dressed up as soldiers from the game's different time periods all available for some photo op action. There will also be plenty of giveaways such as Darkest of Days T-shirts, posters, mouse pads, NVIDIA graphics cards and even a chance to win full retail box copies of the game once it ships.

“PAX has rapidly grown into one of the most highly anticipated, respected and well-received trade shows in the industry, and we’re pumped that Darkest of Days will be having such a strong presence there this year,” said Aaron Schurman, CEO of Phantom EFX. “Our booth is going to be ridiculously awesome, and everyone will get a chance to get some quality playing time with DoD.”

Darkest of Days launches on September 8, 2009 for both the Xbox 360 and PC - We'll have more info on the game shortly.
