Bulletstorm is to be announced by Cliff Bleszinski on NBC’s Late Night Show with Jimmy Fallon. Epic Games studio People Can Fly who created Painkiller, are the ones working on Bulletstorm. It is set to be a first-person shooter that runs off the Unreal 3 engine that powers the Gears of War games.

The gun-crazy Bulletstorm has a ETA for 2011 and will be published by EA for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

An official press release has this information on the Plot and Gameplay.

“Bulletstorm tells the story of a futuristic confederation protected by an elite band of mercenaries: Dead Echo. When Dead Echo members Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato learn they’ve been working for the wrong side, they’re betrayed by their commander and exiled to the far reaches of the galaxy. In Bulletstorm, Grayson and Ishi find themselves surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh eating gangs in an abandoned paradise. They have two objectives: get off the planet alive, and exact revenge on the man who sent them there.”

“Players step into the role of Grayson Hunt complete with an arsenal of over-the-top combat moves and outrageously large guns. Bulletstorm’s array of distinct ‘skillshots’ produces unprecedented levels of frantic gameplay and yell-inducing satisfaction. The skillshot system rewards players for inciting mayhem in the most creative way possible. The more insane the skillshot, the more points players collect to upgrade their character and unlock weapons, which then allows them to execute even more creative moves and exaggerated skillshots.”
