The secret past of John Vattic will soon be revealed, as Codemasters announced today that the original stealth action property from Free Radical Design, Second Sight, has gone gold. Available for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox videogame system from Microsoft and the Nintendo GameCube, Second Sight (NTSC) will be shipping to retail outlets nationwide on September 21.
Combining an atmospheric, psychological thriller narrative with stealth exploration and intense shooter action, Second Sight is an original property that redefines the standards for action gameplay.

Second Sight offers gamers the opportunity to replay events in the past through interactive flashbacks, which affects events in the present through an intense dual-time narrative.
“Free Radical has once again pushed the boundaries of innovation with their riveting new video game, Second Sight,” said Marc Bennett, President, Codemasters Inc. “From the intense, action-packed game play to the rich storyline and character development, Second Sight delivers on all fronts. In the midst of a sequel-driven video game market, gamers will be extremely satisfied with this refreshing new title.”
