DREAMCATCHER BRINGS REVOLUTION¹S IN COLD BLOOD TO NORTH AMERICA

Toronto, ON (February 26, 2001) Do you have dreams of espionage and ready access to a plethora of James Bond-style gadgets? Then jump into DreamCatcher¹s new action/adventure epic, In Cold Blood. This visually stunning action thriller offers nine missions and more than a hundred locations of non-stop action and suspense. Created by renowned British developer Revolution, In Cold Blood has explosive action (literally), an intriguing storyline, Hollywood-quality cinematics and addictive gameplay.

³While staying in the adventure genre, In Cold Blood takes DreamCatcher in a new direction with its feverish action and gripping adventure,² said Marshall Zwicker, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at DreamCatcher. ³Already a success in Europe, In Cold Blood fits well with our core strategy of introducing quality adventure, and now action/adventure, titles to North American audiences, at prices that are affordable.²

Storyline 

Sometime in the near future, the United States of America and the People's Republic of China are on the verge of war--a new cold war that shows every sign of turning hot. Over-stretched by the Chinese crisis, the CIA requests assistance from MI6, the British Secret Service.

Enter John Cord, a special agent sent on an assignment that goes horribly wrong. What starts as a minor investigation leads to the discovery of a conspiracy that threatens to destabilize the global balance of power. Cord knows he was betrayed, but does not know by whom. And as he dreams, he tries to make sense of his predicament to determine what really happened. As agent Cord, the player shoots their way through a series of Cord¹s flashbacks grasping at clues and investigating all the evidence knowing that only one thing is certain ­ there is no one they can trust.
