They may not be a household name, but German company Kalypso Media is taking two popular gaming genres and mixing them together to create a unique experience.
OMERTA: CITY OF GANGSTERS is a classic turn-based, real-time strategy game based around the world of, as the name suggests, gangsters in 1920s Atlantic City.
It will be launched on to Windows PCs and Xbox 360s in February next year.
As a would-be crime boss, gamers will be tasked with building a criminal empire in an attempt to take control of the city by building, buying or taking over buildings which can be turned into distilleries, illegal boxing rings and much, much more.
There's money laundering, gunfights and elaborate heists thrown in, as well as recruiting characters to perform certain jobs, such as spying, fighting and even tackling enemy gangs.
The 360 version of the game is expected to RRP at $69.95, while the PC version is set down at $49.95.
