Atari, Inc. today announced
the further growth of one of its long-running publishing franchises with
news that
Godzilla®: Unleashed, the ultimate giant monsters fighting
game, is in development on the PlayStation®2 computer
entertainment system in addition to the Wii™ and Nintendo DS™.
Developed by Pipeworks,
Godzilla: Unleashed
is scheduled for a fall 2007 release.
Godzilla: Unleashed
is a fighting game on a giant scale, starring the legendary Godzilla and a
slew of at least 20 of some of the most renowned monsters of all-time.
Gamers are challenged to save the planet from mayhem and destruction, but
not before causing some of their own. Set in nine urban arenas,
Godzilla: Unleashed’s
interactive 3D cityscapes, big destructible buildings,
soaring skyscrapers and towering alien formations provide the backdrop to
epic worldwide destruction.
“We are excited to bring
Godzilla:
Unleashed to the PlayStation 2 system,” said Keehwan Her,
Producer, Atari, Inc.
“We’ve made some interesting adaptations from past Godzilla games, so
players will encounter different story modes, new monster abilities, and
more flexible multiplayer capabilities, ensuring a must-have Godzilla
experience.”
The character line-up on
the PlayStation 2 system features new monsters not found on the Nintendo DS
and Wii versions of the game. Players will fight at least 20 monsters, with
the newcomers fighting alongside or against favorites from past Godzilla
video games.
Godzilla: Unleashed features an innovative non-linear
storyline which allows players to influence how the story unfolds through
their choices within battles, and a flexible multiplayer mode which supports
up to four players for the ultimate city-crushing monster extravaganza.
