Eidos announced recently that ShellShock: Nam'67 would ship to retailers across North America tomorrow, September 14th. This comes very soon after the game's announced "gold" status. The game is rated "M" for mature, and carries an MSRP of $49.99 for Xbox and PlayStation 2; $39.99 for the PC.

"ShellShock Nam: 67 is the first Vietnam-based war game on the market for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox," says Wyman Jung, associate product manager for ShellShock Nam'67. "We've seen World War II done in many war-based games, but this is the first game that will take players into one of, if not the most, controversial conflicts of the 20th century. This game delivers one of the most realistic depictions of war gamers can currently experience."

ShellShock: Nam'67 (developed by Guerilla studios, who are also working on Killzone using the same technology in ShellShock: Nam'67) revolves around a journey of one young man's first tour of duty in the jungles of Vietnam in 1967. The game will depict the horrors of war with a serious, realistic tone. Players will experience first hand the atrocities of war such as torture, ambushes, and questionable actions from friendly soldiers. Players may be tasked with missions involving their platoons, clearing a village, taking strategic positions, and entering urban areas. Secret assassination missions will send players deep into an enemy base alone in an attempt to take out a designated target and make it out alive. An array of genuine weapons from the Vietnam era will be used in ShellShock: Nam'67.
