Avalanche Now: Yetis Bring on a Blizzard-Sized Battle in RISK: Factions

With a epic war starting on Xbox LIVE Arcade in just a few days, EA today revealed the last army in RISK: Factions, the digital reinvention of the globally popular strategy game. Led by His Excellency Gary, a yoga-loving sasquatch with a penchant for bringing the pain, the brigade of blizzard-dwelling yetis will join the previously announced armies of humans, cats, robots and zombies in the imminent battle for world domination.

Set to launch on Xbox LIVE Arcade on June 23rd, RISK: Factions features objective-based and world conquest (Classic) modes, avatar awards, new maps, local and online multiplayer options and five playable factions to chose from.

In this newly released video from EA, we revisit human faction leader General William McGutterpants as he visits Gary in a last-ditch attempt to save the world from destruction and bring peace to the warring factions.

RISK: Factions will launch on Xbox LIVE Arcade on June 23rd. For hands-on time with RISK: Factions, please visit the EA Play Label’s behind-closed-door room in the EA booth at E3.
