Highlander: The Game will be a third-person action game featuring a previously unknown Immortal, Owen MacLeod as the main character.
An Immortal cannot die from wounds that would be fatal to a mortal such as gunshots, electricity shocks and falls from a great height. As such, certain encounters will involve Owen using his body as a conductor for high-voltage electrical currents or jumping off a building. Though these actions will not kill him, he will be severely injured.
Over and above his ability to withstand otherwise lethal attacks, Owen will be able to use certain magical abilities such as resurrection, chi balance, fireblade, wind fury and stone armour, to name a few. Like any other Immortal in the Highlander franchise, Owen must wield various types of swords to do battle with other Immortals.
The game will span up to 18 mission in which Owen will encounter up to 77 unique characters. Most of these characters will be Immortals just like Owen and must be slain. Some of these characters will be previously known - Connor MacLeod and Duncan MacLeod are both expected to make appearances and Methos has been confirmed as Owen's mentor.
