Heavy Fire Afghanistan hitting Kinect

A modern military shooter title has been confirmed for Xbox 360 Kinect.

Called Heavy Fire: Afghanistan, Eurogamer reports that the game is in fact an "expanded sequel" to WiiWare pair Heavy Fire: Special Operations and Heavy Fire: Black Arms.

The game is currently pencilled in for a boxed release for Kinect, PlayStation move and Xbox 360 in North America on April 12th courtesy of publisher Mastiff Games.

There’s no word yet on a European release.

"Enemy Contact. Open fire! Defend the base," the official blurb reads. "Lock down the streets of the local town. Hunt down the enemy in the forests. Rescue the hostages from the caves. Sweep the enemies out of the mountains. Fly in helicopters. Ride in tanks and trucks.

"Take it to the ground and get up close and personal with the enemy. Your objective is simple: Grab the biggest gun you can find, then knock out the enemy with your Heavy Fire!"
