Chaos Legion Descends Onto the World in Capcom PC Title

Tale Combines Action with Role-Playing Elements

SUNNYVALE, Calif. June 20, 2003 – Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games today announced plans to develop a PC version of Chaos Legion, based on the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system game of the same name.   Scheduled for a simultaneous global release, Chaos Legion submits an entirely new way to play an action game offering complete control over both the hero and the mighty legions he can summon.  Players have the ability to acquire a substantial variety of new defensive and offensive moves as they are propelled through this epic saga. This version will not only support Windows 98/ME/2000/XP but also eight languages covering all key territories including Japanese, English, German, Spanish, and Korean. Chaos Legion is scheduled to release worldwide this fall.

Chaos Legion is an intense tale that follows the story of two powerful swordsman named Sieg Wahrheit and his old friend Victor Delacroix. An incident leads Delacroix to “fall” into darkness and it is Sieg’s mission to pursue him before the world descends into chaos. Blending action adventure and RPG elements, Chaos Legion puts a twist on the single player melee by allowing gamers to summon a legion of allies to counter the attacks of relentless enemies. There are seven different legion units available for assistance, each with their own signature weaponry including bow and arrows, bombs and swords.

Chaos Legion includes the following features:

• Perfect blend of RPG and action gameplay - Capcom takes an entirely new approach to the action genre as players will find they can power up their legions increasing among other things the number under control, attack and defensive power they posses.

• Increase the main character’s abilities - One of the most significant features is the player’s ability to power up the main character’s attributes through the legions. For instance, if the sword legion’s ‘Enchant’ ability is powered up, the main character will gain more powerful sword moves.

• Magnificent battles - Chaos Legion features battles in which astonishing numbers of enemies are fighting on screen at one time. This feature will give players a true sense of epic battles in which two armies fight for victory.

• Varied and detailed environments - Chaos Legion possesses beautifully rendered environments including ruins, caves and others that perfectly represent the dark mood of the game.

• High resolution support - The game will feature insanely high resolution support that ranges from 640- x 480 through 1600 X 1200 monitor resolution, the standard for today's players who strictly demand quality.

• Support for 8 languages – Japanese, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Korean, Chinese (Traditional and simplified)
