Singularity (video game)
2010 video game
Singularity is a 2010 first-person shooter video game developed by Raven Software and published by Activision and released for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It is built on the Unreal Engine 3 from Epic Games.
Gameplay
Singularity is a first-person shooter with horror elements. A main gameplay device is an artifact known as the Time Manipulation Device (TMD). The TMD is powered by an E-99 core, and can manipulate time. The TMD can move an object backwards or forwards in time, attract objects and hold them indefinitely, however it only affects living beings or objects that have been in contact with E-99. It is used often to solve puzzles such as aging and de-aging boxes to open gates and in combat by creating energy pulses that can stun or kill enemies.
While the story is mostly linear without any choices that affect the narrative, the ending leaves the player with a choice that just affects the ending cutscene.
The TMD can be used in conjunction with special power stations scattered across the island that greatly amplify its power, allowing it to affect objects much larger than it can normally control such as collapsed bridges or shipwrecks, although this ability is only used during cutscenes.
Multiplayer

Why this record matters
The phrase “2010 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1079645. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
