CONFLICT GLOBAL
STORM TARGETS MOBILE
Copyright 2005 Eidos plc Press Release
[ October 17th 2005 ]
Conflict:
Global Storm, the latest title in the best-selling
Conflict series will be released for mobile phones
in October 2005 by Synergenix, the European subsidiary
of Kayak Interactive, licensed from one of the
world's leading publishers of entertainment software,
Eidos Interactive.
Conflict
Global Storm puts the player in the front-line
of the war against global terrorism. A squad-based,
tactical combat game, Conflict: Global Storm focuses
on an elite rapid response Special Forces unit
with missions ranging from sabotage and infiltration
to information retrieval.
Conflict
Global Storm for mobile phones has been created
by 8-Bit Games, a specialist mobile development
studio, which created the first two mobile phone
games in the series – Conflict: Vietnam
and Conflict: Desert Storm.
Conflict
Global Storm takes the action to an entirely new
level, utilizing a state-of-the-art graphics engine
which, for the first time, shows the game from
an isometric perspective. This ensures that the
player can see the action exactly as it happens
and plan tactics and strategy accordingly.
The game
also incorporates a variety of features, such
as interaction with the environment, multiple
weapons and vehicles as well as an intuitive new
squad-based control system.
The Conflict
series of games have built up a huge following
around the world and on consoles and PC have sold
over 6 million units worldwide. The mobile games
incorporate the best components of the console
titles, with the first titles already winning
praise from the media.
Conflict
Global Storm will be released in October for a
broad range of Java enabled mobile phone handsets.
It will be made available to all mobile network
operators, portals and retail channels.
Martin
Forsling, the Chief Executive Officer of Synergenix,
said, "The Conflict series shows that mobile games
can be much more than simple puzzle or parlour
games. Each of the titles in this series has given
mobile owners a deep and compelling gameplay experience
which translates the strategy and action of the
console titles into an equally rich mobile gaming
experience.
"We're
delighted to announce the completion of Conflict:
Global Storm and we're looking forward to more
players than ever finding out just how much fun
mobile gaming can be."
