A man-made floating city dubbed the Ark, built with purely scientific experimental intentions, is about to see bloodshed. The oceans have risen and the structure is now a refuge for humanity. But we all can’t be saved now can we?

Bethesda and Spash Damage hope to fuse single player, co-op, and multiplayer, into one seamless experience in their latest digital endeavor Brink. The first-person shooter is an ambitious project indeed, but from an art standpoint, we absolute love what we’ve been seeing so far.

Released today are these four glorious shots from the game, and needless to say, we’re excitied, but with a release date of only “TBD” we won’t be playing this one for a while.

Fallout and Oblivion creator Bethesda Softworks took some time out of their E3 day today to reveal some details surrounding their upcoming collaboration project with Splash Damage, Brink.

Due out Spring 2010 for Xbox 360, PC, and PS3, Brink is an immersive first person shooter that somehow blends single-player, co-op, and multiplayer into one helluva game in which your character can be fine tuned throughout.

The story of Brink surrounds the fact that a‚  man-made floating city, made up of thousands of islands, dubbed the Ark is simply put, on the brink of war and preparing for the worst. After 25 years of social unrest, the people of the ark have had enough, and it is up to you and the character you decide to play, to determine the future of the city and its human race.

Compelling? Yes, especially given the fact that Bethesda is behind it.‚  The Fallout and Oblivion series’ were pretty well crafted if you ask me.

Take a look at the first screen shots from the game to be revealed and head on over to BrinkTheGame to learn more.

Bethesda released this teaser trailer (and by teaser I mean the kind of teaser where after you watch it you have more questions than before) early this morning on GameTrailers TV, confirming the rumored title and giving gamers a release date of spring 2010.

Brink is a product of collaboration between Bethesda and Splash Damage that was initially announced over a year ago, but even after watching this trailer we still have zero idea what the game is going to entail.

All we do know is that the artists on the job are fantastic, there will be shooting in one form or another, and that the game is due out Spring 2010 for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

No worries though because Bethesda has pulled an Honest Abe and promised juicy details at E3 concerning the mysterious title. Stay tuned for our E3 2009 coverage beginning Monday!
