Edinburgh, Scotland; Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) May 3, 2005 -- Game developer
DC STUDIOS has today entered into an agreement to acquire the rights to State Of
Emergency 2™, the sequel to the chart topping, State Of Emergency™.
DC
Studios has signed an agreement with Tom Maclennan and Kenny Craig of Tenon
Recovery, joint administrators of VIS/SOED which will result in DC Studios
completing the development of SOE2 and arranging a publishing deal for the game
and any sequels.
State of Emergency 2™ takes place 10 years after the
first game and takes the first title to an entirely new level, with more game
modes, an entirely new game engine and the addition of vehicles and a huge array
of weapons. The game takes the premise of the first title – huge, active,
restless crowds and 'mob mentality' a stage further adding more crowd dynamics
and an involving storyline to the overall game.
With huge numbers of
enemies on screen, more weapons than an army base, guts, gore and game-play,
State of Emergency 2 is surefire hit for the rapidly growing audience of adult
gamers.
Mark Greenshields, the CEO of DC Studios, said ‘We are extremely
pleased to have added State of Emergency 2™ to our portfolio. The game is an
excellent addition to the company's line-up and we look forward to it being a
huge success and to the continuation of the brand in the future. We are also
delighted to be supporting games development within Scotland and are continuing
to expand our operations there.
State of Emergency 2™ will be released in
Q4 2005 on Playstation 2 with other versions to follow.
An 'in
development' build of State Of Emergency 2™ will be available behind closed
doors at E3 2005.
DC STUDIOS can be found at stand #2400 in the West
Hall - by appointment only.
