Story

Near the beginning of the 20th century a 25-year-old journalist named Curtis Hewitt returns home from Patagonia. On his journey, he encounters a storm, which brings him to the world of Atlantis. Here he meets the native people and embarks on a quest to free them from their tyrannical gods.[3]

Development

Atlantis Evolution was first revealed by DreamCatcher Interactive in April 2003,[4] as part of several announcements by the company in preparation for the 2003 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).[5] The game was initially developed by DreamCatcher Europe,[6][7] a company formed when DreamCatcher absorbed parts of Cryo Interactive, its defunct parent.[8] However in the summer, DreamCatcher Europe shuttered the game development divisions it had carried over from Cryo.[9] Around September, the new company Atlantis Interactive Entertainment was founded by ex-Cryo employees; it ultimately became the game's developer.[10]
