We have some new details on the anticipated FPS The Conduit including online multiplayer.

By developing an engine just for the Wii from ground up, High Voltage Software gained the attention of Nintendo fans by promising to make good use of not only the Wii's unique controller, but of its graphical capabilities. Leading the charge and showing off the aforementioned engine, named Quantum 3 Game Engine is The Conduit, an exclusive Wii FPS.

We showed you a trailer back in May, now we give you some specifics. For those interested in the graphical aspect, The Conduit will have graphical features like dynamic environment mapping, interactive water with real-time reflection and four-stage texture composition including gloss, diffuse and bump mapping.

The single player campaign, that features a rich story and advanced AI will put you in control of secret agent Ford that has to defeat many enemies, solve puzzles and master various weapons, including the "All Seeing Eye" shown in the previous trailer. More importantly, the game will have a competitive online multiplayer mode, which is good news for online fans, specially considering that the Wii has been lacking in this department.
