PANDEMIC STUDIOS LAUNCHES THE SABOTEUR
Premium Download Pack ‘The Midnight Show’ Available Now
Pandemic™ Studios, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc., today
announced that the open world action sandbox game The Saboteur™ is available
today. As the game hits store shelves today, console players can download a
free* content pack (DLC) called ‘The Midnight Show’. The sexy pack unlocks a
V.I.P room at the game’s cabaret ‘The Belle de Nuit’ including several sultry
cinematics, unveils an all-new mini-game, and unlocks five seedy hiding spots in
Paris. The downloadable content also gives players the ability to unlock nudity
in the game, allowing them to make their own choice regarding the game’s
maturity. All new console copies of The Saboteur contain a single use download
code for ‘The Midnight Show’ redeemable through the game on Xbox LIVE®
Marketplace and PlayStation® Store. Owners of the PC version will have automatic
access ‘The Midnight Show’ without an additional download. For console players
who wish to buy the ‘The Midnight Show’ DLC pack as a stand-alone download, they
may do so on Xbox LIVE for 240 MSFT points and for $2.99 at the PlayStation
Store.
“The Saboteur is unlike any other WWII action game. It paints
a picture of Nazi-occupied Paris that is corrupt, riddled with danger and more
than a little sexy. ‘The Midnight Show’ DLC takes all of this edginess to the
next level, but in an authentic, organic way,” said Nick Earl, Senior Vice
President and Group General Manager at Electronic Arts. “This feels like the
Director’s Cut of the game. We’re very proud to have the opportunity to deliver
this alternate experience with a DLC pack that is so polished and robust.”
The Saboteur is set in World War II France and takes players
through the seedy underbelly of Paris as hero Sean Devlin sets off on a revenge
mission. Inspired by a true story, The Saboteur stars Sean Devlin who, motivated
by personal revenge, fights, climbs, and races through open-world Paris,
sneaking into the heart of the Nazi operations and sabotaging their every move.
With the help of the French Resistance, the British intelligence, an arsenal of
weaponry, street smarts and brawn, players will exact revenge on those who get
in his way. From derailing trains and blowing up zeppelins to scaling famous
Parisian landmarks, this action hero uses a broad range of weapons, explosives
and vehicles to get the job done.
As Sean takes down enemies, the citizens of Paris are
empowered to resist the tyrannical Third Reich and their eyes open to the
colorful world around them. This innovative mechanic, called the ‘Will to
Fight,’ will change the way Paris is seen and felt – from a dark and oppressed
policed state to a bright and inspired world where the citizens fight back. As
the player executes acts of sabotage against the occupying force, color returns
to the stylized black and white world – both figuratively and literally.
The Saboteur is available for the PlayStation®3 computer
entertainment system, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, and the
PC and is rated “M for Mature” by the ESRB and “18+”by PEGI. For more
