Company: Namco Bandai Games America
Date: 12 Sep 2006
SANTA CLARA, Calif., (September 12, 2006) – Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today announced that its fantasy action role-playing PC game, Mage Knight: Apocalypse™, has gone gold and will be available in stores beginning September 26. Featuring a richly-detailed universe, epic single player campaign and co-operative modes, Mage Knight: Apocalypse is the debut title launching
from NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.’s PC division.
“NAMCO BANDAI Games is very excited to bring our debut PC game to market this September,†said Makoto Iwai, Senior Vice President of the Development Group for NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. “The Mage Knight: Apocalypse team has done an incredible job of capturing the epic Mage Knight universe into a visually stunning and compelling gameplay experience."
Based on the best-selling collectible miniature game from WizKids Games, Mage Knight: Apocalypse allows players to assume the role of one of five warriors sworn by oath to seek out the heart of evil plaguing the land and destroy it no matter the cost. Aided by the Solonavi, a mysterious and magical race, the guardians commence a quest to rescue their world from the clutches of an evil army determined to bring about the Apocalypse. As the forces of chaos rise, a creature of unimaginable destructive power is unleashed to lead the enemy: the Apocalypse Dragon, a seemingly unstoppable five-headed horror. In order to combat this monstrosity, players must rally support from all of the land’s factions and recruit brave
heroes to battle for their cause. The future rests on the shoulders of these noble adventurers, and the ultimate clash for battlefield supremacy is about to begin.
Mage Knight: Apocalypse is rated “T†for Teen by the ESRB. For more information about Mage Knight: Apocalypse, please visit http://www.mkapocalypse.com.
