EIDOS PLC AND
PLAYLOGIC TO PARTNER
Copyright 2006 Eidos plc Press Release
[ December 4th 2006 ]
Playlogic
Entertainment, Inc. and Eidos
Interactive, one of the worlds leading publishers
and developers of entertainment software, today
announced the signing of an agreement for Eidos
to distribute two of Playlogic's highly anticipated
PC titles "Ancient
Wars: Sparta" and "Infernal"
in the first quarter of 2007. They will be available
both on- and off-line.
"Ancient
Wars: Sparta" is developed by Russian developer
World Forge and provides players a true Real-Time
Strategy experience. "Ancient Wars: Sparta" takes
place in the ancient Mediterranean between 500
and 450 BC and is based on realistic historical
settings. In command of either the Spartans, Egyptians
or Persians you fight for supremacy in the region.
"Infernal,"
developed by Polish studio Metropolis, is a 3rd
person shooter for the PC. The game tells the
story of Ryan Lennox, a fallen angel, who has
been recruited by hell to restore the balance
between Good and Evil. "Infernal" makes use of
'Ageia PhysX software,' enhancing the realistic
effects of the game, and also supports the 'Ageia
PhysX card' for even more stunning visuals.
"It's
great to be working with Playlogic and to have
these two exciting titles added to our 2007 PC
line-up," said Scott Dodkins, European Managing
Director, Eidos. "We know both titles are highly
anticipated and we look forward to bringing them
to market."
"We are
very excited to have found in Eidos our distribution
partner for both titles," said Stefan Layer, Vice
President and Chief Marketing & Sales Officer,
Playlogic. "Eidos has an excellent distribution
network and is highly experienced in marketing
its products, such as its 'Tomb
Raider' (Lara
Croft) franchise, which will drive the sales
of both games. "We are looking forward to
working with them."
Both
titles will be distributed by Eidos throughout
the world, except from a few countries. Those
exceptions are for "Infernal": former USSR and
Japan, and for "Ancient Wars: Sparta": former
USSR, Italy, Spain and Latin America.
