Playlogic acquires WorldShift New
revolutionary RTS set to be in stores, starting Q2 2008
Today, Playlogic Entertainment,
Inc., an independent worldwide publisher of entertainment software, announced
that it has acquired the right to publish the Real Time Strategy game WorldShift
for PC from the German Publisher Black Inc – a label of RTL Games. Playlogic
will release WorldShift starting Q2 2008.
About WorldShift:
A DARK FUTURE LIES AHEAD In the 21st
century, earth has been hit by a mysterious huge dark object called ‘Shard
Zero’. It released a plague that disrupted the very nature of space and life.
WorldShift is set thousands of years later, when our civilization is no more
than a fading myth. The remnants of Human civilisation developed a new culture
and now live in 5 mega-cities, struggling every day for the precious resources
they need to survive. The rest of Earth is populated by the Tribes, successors
of early humans that were affected by the Plague.
A NEW TAKE ON STRATEGY WorldShift is
a next-gen cyber-fantasy RTS game designed to be immersive and intuitive. It
offers fierce encounters all around the Earth and a fascinating story uncovering
ancient secrets about the true nature of the Shard and the Plague. But also,
WorldShift introduces many features new to the genre, like modifiable factions,
unique cooperative multiplayer gameplay, and more.
ITEMS, RELICS AND THE ABILITY
GRID In WorldShift, there are no technology trees featuring hundreds of
upgrades; instead, WorldShift allows the players to discover and acquire a vast
number of items and powerful relics that they can use to freely change their
gameplay and preferred tactics and to surprise their foes. The players will
gather items as they fight their opponents and as rewards for completing
missions. But to discover the most powerful relics, they must form teams with
their most trusted friends and embark on deadly missions where it is difficult
to survive and where the real challenges await.
