Haze is a first-person shooter video game developed by Free Radical Design and published by Ubisoft for the PlayStation 3.[4] It was released worldwide in May 2008. Releases for Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows were canceled.
The game takes place in a dystopian future, where the Mantel Corporation rule the world with a drug called Nova-Keto-Thyrazine – also called Nectar,[5] a “nutritional supplement” that enables soldiers to fight harder and smarter, but also induces a hallucinogenic effect, where soldiers are no longer cognizant of the real battlefield around them, instead viewing an idyllic, painless environment.
The game takes place over a three-day period as Mantel battles a group of rebels known as “The Promise Hand” which is led by Gabriel “Skin Coat” Merino, with the player assuming the role of Shane Carpenter, a 25-year-old Mantel soldier. After Carpenter witnesses the effect Nectar is having on his fellow soldiers, and after a twist in the storyline Shane then turns rogue and teams up with The Promise Hand to take on Mantel.
