Haze is a
first-person shooter video game developed by
Free Radical Design and published by
Ubisoft for the
PlayStation 3. 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, 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.
