Ubi Soft to publish Echelon in Germany
Moscow/Dusseldorf, 28.05.2001 Buka
Entertainment and Ubi Soft Entertainment signed a publishing agreement for the
futuristic flight-simulator Echelon.
This title was developed by Madia and
will be released in Germany in the 3rd quarter 2001.
Echelon puts the player in white-knuckle combat
over lush alien landscapes and towering cities as a member of an elite
fighting force facing a revolution on a colonial outpost. Featuring two
branching campaigns and a well-wrought storyline, the player will have the
ability to advance from Lieutenant to Commander during his/her battles and
assume greater control over how each mission plays out.
A broad range of player craft are included and
each type features its own unique flight models ranging from traditional fixed
wing aircraft and helicopters, to extraordinary gravity-defying, futuristic
hovercraft. These varied flight models allow for robust and challenging
tactical combat in both single-player and multi-player offerings yet each mode
has been designed to be fully playable with intuitive controls for keyboard,
keyboard/mouse, or joystick.
Hardware accelerated 3D graphics allow for
spectacular effects, such as dust and particle effects, realistic water and
reflections and feature detailed, highly realistic environments, beautiful
landscapes, detailed building models, and over 50 types of friendly and enemy
craft. Multiplayer options include death- match and co-op modes in a variety
of game types, including Capture The Fort.
Andreas Balfanz, Product Manager of Ubi Soft
Entertainment commented: "Echelon is a really unique combination of two
genres – 3D Action and flight simulation. Due to the realism, flight physics
and spectacular graphics, this title is really interesting for the German
market. Fans of flight simulation, 3 D Action und Science Fiction are
activated by this exciting title. We are enthusiastic that we can extend the
presence of talented Russian developers in Germany and are proud of the
co-operation with Buka Entertainment."
Roman Gadas, PR and marketing manager of Buka
Entertainment added: "Ubi Soft is one of the world-leading game
publishers, known for the best quality of its games. We are really proud to
cooperate with such a good partner and hope that Echelon will appeal to German
gamers"
