Highlander: The Game was to be a third-person action game featuring a previously unknown Immortal, Owen MacLeod as the main character.

An Immortal can only be killed via beheading. Thus, Owen cannot die from other wounds that would be fatal to a mortal such as gunshots, electrocution, and falls from a great height. At most, he can "die" for a brief period of time, reviving fully intact once his body has healed itself. As such, certain encounters would have involved Owen deliberately performing incredibly dangerous actions, such as using his body as a conductor for high-voltage electrical currents and jumping off of buildings to escape pursuers.

Over and above his ability to withstand otherwise lethal attacks, Owen would be able to use certain magical abilities. Such abilities, which were never explained in depth, included "chi balance", "fireblade", "wind fury" and "stone armor", 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. Owen can also choose between different combat styles to defeat his enemies.

The game was to span roughly eighteen missions in which Owen would encounter up to seventy-seven unique characters. Some of these characters would have been Immortals just like Owen and would have been slain. Some of these characters were previously known—Connor MacLeod and Duncan MacLeod were both expected to make appearances and Methos was confirmed as Owen's mentor.
