Ubi Soft®’s Highly Anticipated WWII Naval
Combat Simulation Hits Retail Shelves

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – February 14, 2002 – Ubi
Soft Entertainment, a world leader in interactive entertainment, today announced
that Destroyer Command, its highly anticipated World War II naval combat
simulation, has shipped to retail shelves. With an MSRP of $39.99, Destroyer
Command delivers a combat experience like no other, fully immersing the player
in multiple roles aboard a realistic World War II era destroyer. Additionally, a
forthcoming download for the popular Silent Hunter II submarine simulation will
enable interaction with Destroyer Command players as well as update the single
player game. Silent Hunter II and Destroyer Command players will then be able to
interact and battle via the Internet or LAN.

"When the Silent Hunter II update containing
the game link feature is released in about two weeks, the world will know who
the true kings of the ocean are as Silent Hunter II’s experienced pack of
submariners square off against a fleet of new destroyer commanders," said Carl
C. Norman, executive producer for Ubi Soft Entertainment. "Hopefully the
destroyer commanders will use the next two weeks to master their new ships’
capabilities – they’re going to really need the experience to win this war."

The Silent Hunter II update will be available
for download from SilentHunterII.com  and DestroyerCommand.com .
