Area 51 Goes Gold
Xbox 360 and PC versions to ship on
November 12
Midway today announced that BlackSite: Area 51,
the immersive and fast-paced action FPS title, has gone gold and is set to ship
for Xbox 360 and PC in North America Nov. 12. A PlayStation 3 version is
scheduled for North American release in December.
BlackSite: Area 51 gives gamers a chance to
direct their living, breathing squad mates with a context-sensitive "One-Button
Squad Command" control. Destructible environments can be reduced to rubble,
creating interactive cover points that can be blown away with enough firepower.
Blacksite: Area 51 is set to ship to stores Nov.
12 for Xbox 360 and PC, with a PlayStation 3 version expected in time for the
holidays.
Gamers can still download the BlackSite teaser
demo on Xbox LIVE Marketplace to take to the streets in Rachel, NV, controlling
their squad and blasting through fully-realistic and interactive environments
using the latest in military weaponry. Another demo for Xbox Live is scheduled
to be released soon, and a PS3 demo will be released later this year.
