Gen Con Attendees to Get Their Hands on The
Continuum
Seven Lights, LLC today announced that Gen Con
attendees will get the first hands-on preview of its upcoming game – The
Continuum. The Continuum is the premier online collectible war game that blends
the best elements of strategy gaming, collectible gaming, RPGs and digital goods
into a distinctive game universe, where players’ actions affect a gripping
narrative. Gen Con is being held on August 16-19, 2007, in Indianapolis,
Indiana.
Beyond getting playtime with The Continuum, Gen
Con attendees can get an exclusive Gen Con code, good for a special Continuum
benefit once the public beta of the game begins. Show goers will also be the
first to receive the third edition in The Continuum comic book series, which
corresponds and expands The Continuum universe. In the comic books series,
players will learn more about the game’s characters, universe and gameplay
elements– and may ultimately discover secrets in the comic books that will
affect the game. The digital version of the comic book will be available at
www.thecontinuum.com
after Gen Con.
Seven Lights is also offering Gen Con attendees
the opportunity to fill out a coupon (located in the coupon book that comes with
Gen Con registration) and submit it at Seven Lights’ booth (#229) for the chance
to win a Platinum Subscription to The Continuum game. The year-long Platinum
Subscription includes printed versions of the comics, characters awarded to the
player’s account monthly, periodic bundles of in-game currency to spend, and
much more. Seven Lights will be having a daily drawing for the prize at their
booth (entrants must be present to win).
The game will launch a closed beta version in the
upcoming weeks, with a gradual rollout to all players that have pre-registered.
When the open beta launches in Fall 2007, players will receive a starter set of
characters and be able to test out the game for free. In the following months,
the game will be officially released and new character sets will be available
for purchase.
