Matt Hazard welcomes the New Year
with a bang in a bloody new adventure in Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond
available for immediate download today on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 and
on January 7 for PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3 from D3Publisher. Blood
Bath and Beyond players can enjoy shooting through a countless variety of
enemies and engaging gameplay for a price of 1200 Microsoft Points ($15) on Xbox
LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 and for $14.99 on PlayStation Network.

“The main character Matt Hazard
breaks down the fourth wall in a combination of hilarious storyline and
adventure with an old-school action shooter that will entertain all,” said Peter
Andrew, vice president of product development, D3P. “Play as Matt Hazard on your
own or join in co-op action as Dexter Dare to take down General Neutronov
through an assortment of classic arcade levels with a twist.”

In Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and
Beyond, General Neutronov, one of Matt’s nemeses has reactivated all of Hazard’s
greatest enemies from classics like Matt’s original adventure, The Adventures of
Matt in Hazard Land and Chest of the Pirate Queen in an attempt to destroy
Matt’s former self in the past and end his present. Matt has no time for a
leisurely stroll down memory lane as he chases Neutronov through the games of
the past in order to save his future.

Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond
is a flood of carnage that the classic 8-bit side-scroller era didn’t want
gamers to see. Recreated today with next-gen 3D graphics, it’s nonstop
run-and-gun action at its finest. Take a suspenseful ride in single player or
co-op through a pirate hideout, an ancient Japanese castle, the Old West,
Siberian ice mines, and even the moon and relive some of the most classic and
violent moments in Matt Hazard’s videogame history.

“Creating Blood Bath and Beyond for
Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network gave us the opportunity to demonstrate
the full capabilities of Vicious Engine 2™ (Ve2) and deliver high-quality
content for the downloadable market,” said Eric Peterson, president and CEO of
Vicious Cycle Software.

Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond is rated “M” (Mature – Blood and Gore, Strong
