This marked the first (and so far, only) successful release of a video game based on Æon Flux, after two failed earlier attempts.

The game is set in the year 2415, after a biological disease has wiped out Earth's population except for those living in Bregna, a walled, protected city-state.

Aeon Flux, a top operative in the underground "Monican" rebellion, is sent on a mission to kill one of Bregna's most influential government leaders, Trevor Goodchild.

Following a series of self-discoveries and revelations, Aeon uncovers a world of secrets which makes her doubt her mission and question everything she thought she knew.

In order to coincide with the release of the upcoming film, developer Terminal Reality was only given nine months to finish the game.
