EA Games’ Freedom Fighters Has Gone Gold
Multi-platform War Title To Ship September 23
The squad-based action war game Freedom Fighters
has gone gold and will start to ship on Tuesday, September 23 for the
PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, Xbox video game system from
Microsoft, the Nintendo GameCube, and PC.
Freedom Fighters is based on an alternate history
in which the Soviet Union has won the Cold War and invaded America. You will
take on the role of average New Yorker, Christopher Stone, and evolve into a
fearless patriot who recruits and leads an army of freedom fighters in the
streets of New York City. Players will fight through the streets of NY with
seamless urban battles that take place outside as well as indoors. Because wars
are not won alone, a key component of the game is the player’s ability to
recruit and lead fellow New Yorkers in the battle against the Red Menace. An
intuitive recruiting command system allows him to give orders to his fellow
soldiers and execute critical missions at the touch of a single button.
Freedom Fighters was developed by
Copenhagen-based Io Interactive and is being co-published by EA Partners under
the EA GAMES brand. It is rated “T” (Teen) by the ESRB and has a US MSRP of
$49.99 for PS2, Xbox and GameCube and $39.99 for PC. Additional information can
