BELLEVUE, WA (January 23, 2003) - Vivendi Universal Games and Fox Interactive™ announced today the development of The X-Files™: Resist or Serve for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and the Xbox™ video game system from Microsoft. The X-Files: Resist or Serve, developed by Black Ops and published by Sierra Entertainment, is a true 3-D survival horror game experience spanning three original episodes created by the executive producers of The X-Files™ television show. In addition, The X-Files: Resist or Serve features the likenesses and authentic voiceovers from the majority of the cast, including David Duchovny (Mulder) and Gillian Anderson (Scully).

The fear begins when Mulder and Scully travel to the small Rocky Mountain town of Red Falls to investigate a string of unusual murders linked to ghost sightings, the undead, and other paranormal phenomena. Mulder and Scully must pursue an inhuman killer to a secret research facility in the Siberian wasteland and finally into the depths of a buried alien spacecraft to unravel the mystery of the black oil and prevent the alien colonization of the planet...for now.

Maintaining the authenticity of The X-Files, the game features familiar environments and characters faithfully recreated from The X-Files television show, including Mulder, Scully, Skinner, the Cigarette-Smoking Man, The Lone Gunmen and more. The X-Files: Resist or Serve takes the X-Files authenticity one step further by also including the score and dynamic music created by those responsible for the music behind the television show.

The X-Files: Resist or Serve will be available in Summer, 2003 on Playstation2 and Xbox for a suggested retail price of $49.99 with an expected ESRB "Mature" rating.
