September 10^th, 2004 (12:00am) - Sammy Studios today released the provocative image of Tala created exclusively for a pictorial in the October issue of Playboy Magazine. A pivotal character in Darkwatch, the upcoming Vampire-Western first-person shooter (FPS) video game, Tala bares more than her fangs in the men’s magazine spread dedicated to sexy video game leading ladies. The revealing image, capturing her dangerous sensuality as a half-vampire seductress of Native American descent, is the work of Sammy Studios’ in-house team of artists working in conjunction with Brain Zoo Studios of Van Nuys, California. The image appears in a pictorial accompanying the article “Gaming Grows Up” in Playboy’s upcoming issue, hitting newsstands this month. Darkwatch is slated for release on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in spring 2005.
