505 Games has announced that they have a new third-person adventure title, MorphX due out this May.

MorphX puts player into the midst of an alien invasion and forces them to walk a fine line of remaining human and taking advantage of absorbing alien DNA to become stronger in order to defend what is left of humanity.

505's Ralph Pitt-Stanley describes the new title: "MorphX gives players the choice of remaining purely human or taking on some characteristics of the enemy for a very different gaming experience. In other words, if you get tired of falling foul of a plasma projector claw, you can always opt to grow one of your own in retaliation!"

MorphX is being developed by Moscow-based studio Buka Entertainment and is set in the studio's home town.
