SUPERHEROES SITED IN EUROPE

Digital Jesters launches its
website to the hugely-anticipated Freedom Force Vs The Third Reich

British publisher Digital Jesters
has scooped the rights to Freedom Force vs The Third Reich, beating off stiff
competition with the support of French publisher Focus Home Interactive in a
co-publishing deal that will see Irrational’s highly anticipated sequel hit
stores across Europe in Q2 2005 for the PC.

Y-fronts-over-tights fans can find

  to find somewhere that will offer
significantly different content to the popular official Irrational site
including 12 part series of the soon to be released Freedom Force animation.

Developer Irrational Games’ Freedom
Force Vs The Third Reich is the sequel to the critically acclaimed and award
winning Freedom Force, and promises to be build on the successes of the original
with a new plot, new characters, and perhaps most importantly, a brand new 3D
graphics engine (Gamebryo).

Strongly identified by its faithful
adherence to the 1960s style of comic book, The Third Reich will offer no less
than six new heroes, who will join the cause against their evil counterparts,
the six new super villains. Witness the birth of Tombstone! In a thrilling short
movie, downloadable from the site.

“We are delighted to be able to
provide another port of call for the huge fanbase of the world of Freedom
Force,” says Terry Malham, financial director, Digital Jesters, “We are
delighted to be working with Focus on such a highly anticipated title, and are
looking forward to bringing it to the European public.”

Freedom Force Vs The Third Reich
will be released by Digital Jesters and Focus in Q2 2005 on PC CD-ROM.

Note to editors: Founded in 2003,
Digital Jesters is a British-based publisher of computer and video games. Set up
by the duo responsible for launching and establishing the Sudden Strike and
Cossacks series of games in the UK, the firm’s remit is simple: to source and
publish the best games available. The company’s commitment to originality
resulting in it snapping up the original TrackMania game from French developer
Nadeo and DJ’s ethos of community development strategy resulted in the game
becoming one of the sleeper hits of the year. A tie-in with record-breaking
yachtswoman Ellen Macarthur for the firm’s second release Virtual Skipper 3
ensured the game received widespread attention among the elusive non-gamer, and
firmly placed the publisher on the map. The firm has enjoyed three top 10 PC
hits and is expanding its operation to cover additional territories. It has also
published its own comic book to widespread critical acclaim.
