Hour of Victory Demo To Go Live Next Week On Xbox
LIVE Marketplace
Midway’s highly anticipated World
War II FPS title, Hour of Victory, will be live and playable for the first time
next week via Xbox LIVE® Marketplace. Midway will release an exciting
single-player teaser demo on Wednesday, May 30, providing a glimpse of the
game’s cinematic and frenetic gameplay in advance of Hour of Victory’s march to
retail stores in June.
The Hour of Victory demo will give
the player a sneak peak into the rugged North African level. Players will be
able to pick any of the three characters in the game, the Covert Operative,
specializing in stealth and sabotage; a British Commando specializing in the
guns-blazing frontal assault; or an Army Ranger who specializes in sniping and
demolitions.
Hour of Victory allows you to play a
key role in the pivotal and cinematic battles from the European and North
African theaters of World War II, using the skills and gameplay style you
choose. Sneak into enemy territory as a covert operative, storm the gates as a
British Commando, or snipe from afar as an Army Ranger. Each character’s unique
attributes will be needed for the fulfillment of the overall objective. Only
with all these skills working closely together will you be able to say that you
helped define the Hour of Victory.
Built using the powerful Unreal®
Engine 3.0, Hour of Victory combines authentic details from historic World War
II battles and adds in frenetic and cinematic gameplay. Players will also be
able to take control of any vehicle on the battlefield whenever they wish as
they sharpen their skills to impact the key battles from the European and North
African Theaters.
