CODEMASTERS’ RISE OF THE
ARGONAUTS SAILS ONTO STORE SHELVES

Epic Action RPG Inspired by
Classical Greek Myths Now Shipping to Retailers in U.S.*

Rise of the Argonauts™, the epic
action RPG published by Codemasters and developed by Liquid Entertainment, is
now shipping to store shelves in the U.S. for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft®, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment
system and the PC.

“Rooted in Greek mythology, the
narrative in Rise of the Argonauts is a modern retelling of Jason’s relentless
quest for the Golden Fleece,” said Ed Del Castillo, president of Liquid
Entertainment. “The innovative deeds system and immersive environment in Rise of
the Argonauts is sure to keep players entrenched in the gameplay.”

Rise of the Argonauts immerses
players in a gladiatorial adventure set in a wondrously imagined vision of
ancient Greece. Taking the role of Jason, a hero and expert warrior, players
will battle alongside Hercules, Achilles, Atalanta and other Argonauts as they
engage in brutal, real-time combat against formidable beasts and enemies, in a
vast world alive with fickle gods, jaw-dropping panoramas, deep exploration and
epic quests.

From Athena and Ares to Apollo and
Hermes, the Greek gods know and judge all of Jason’s adventures in Rise of the
Argonauts. Wise and virtuous Athena casts down bolts of lighting to stun and
smite Jason’s foes. Ares, the Lord of Battle, can imbue Jason’s weapons with the
power to turn flesh to stone. Apollo, the Sun God, beams shafts of sunlight to
protect and regenerate Jason’s health in battle. Hermes, the trickster of
Olympus, can grant Jason the power to create decoys of himself or to banish his
enemies to Tartarus, the place of the condemned. Through careful
decision-making, Jason can improve himself through combat, dialogue and the
divine favor of the gods. The search for the Golden Fleece is not only one of
exploration, but of transformation: from warrior king to exalted hero touched by
the gods.
