Midway's FPS announced for the PC; game will ship with its console counterparts April 25.

Gamers will be getting a close encounter of a third kind from Area 51. In addition to releasing on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, there will be a third version of the first-person shooter from Midway. As previously speculated, Midway today announced a PC version will ship April 25 alongside the console versions. Area 51 is being developed on all platforms by Midway's Austin studios.

In the title, gamers will infiltrate Area 51 in order to stop a viral outbreak from reaching the masses. Along the way, protagonist Ethan Cole will uncover conspiracies such as the famed UFO crash landing in Roswell and a staged lunar landing, battle infected guards with alien and human technology, and get help from Edgar, a friendly grey alien.

The game will feature voice talent from X-Files star David Duchovny, Deadwood actor Powers Boothe, and rocker Marilyn Manson.
