Mere hours before the opening of the Tokyo Game Show, Tecmo took the wraps off Quantum Theory, a brand-new third-person shooter for the PlayStation 3. The title, due out sometime next year in Japan, will be on the TGS floor in movie form at the very least; Keisuke Kikuchi (one of the main men behind the Fatal Frame series) is handling producer duties.

Quantum Theory is set inside the Tower of Light, a mysterious, organic structure that has built itself up over time and is in a constant state of mutation. You play Sid, a huge man with an even huger gun who's intent on climbing the tower and destroying it. Along the way you'll encounter Firene, a female warrior who's also climbing the tower but has very different intentions in mind. You'll work together in some way, although Tecmo's still keeping details on the game pretty classified.
