shape-shifting weapon. As the game’s all-new infected protagonist, Sgt. James
Heller, players will cut a bloody swathe through the wastelands of post-viral
New York Zero with unparalleled locomotion, building up a vast genetic arsenal
of deadly, biological weapons and abilities as they hunt, kill and consume their
way toward the ultimate goal – to kill…Alex…Mercer!
