Æon Flux is the video game adaptation of the 2005 science fiction film of the same name, with elements of the Æon Flux animated series. The game was developed by Terminal Reality and released in November 2005 in North America for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. This marked the first (and so far, only) successful release of a video game based on Æon Flux, after two failed earlier attempts.
Plot
The game is set in the year 2415, after a biological disease has wiped out Earth's population except for those living in Bregna, a walled, protected city-state. The city is ruled by the congress of scientists who discovered the vaccine for the disease. Aeon Flux, a top operative in the underground "Monican" rebellion, is sent on a mission to kill one of Bregna's most influential government leaders, Trevor Goodchild. Following a series of self-discoveries and revelations, Aeon uncovers a world of secrets which makes her doubt her mission and question everything she thought she knew.
The game's storyline attempts to bridge the gap between the TV series and the film by explaining various discrepancies such as the appearance of the jungle outside Bregna and the differences between the movie and TV series versions of Trevor Goodchild. The game's visuals and tone skew toward that of the film, and the look of Aeon in the game is based on Charlize Theron's appearance in the film version; the character is also voiced by her.
Development
In order to coincide with the release of the upcoming film, developer Terminal Reality was only given nine months to finish the game.[1] In order to make the deadline, Terminal Reality relied heavily on the engine they had just used for their previous title, BloodRayne 2.
