Buffalo, New
York (March 7, 2003)— Jaleco Entertainment announced today that it is
developing and will publish Goblin Commander:
Unleash The Horde, an innovative
action-strategy game for the next-generation consoles set in an epic fantasy
universe. A fourth quarter release is planned.
In
Goblin Commander: Unleash The Horde,
players battle their way through the
war-torn land of
Ogriss, a world ruled by goblins. Spawned by the
mighty wizard Fraziel, the goblins have fallen under a corrupt influence that
now threatens the balance of power. Advancing through dark subterranean caves,
lush woodland cities and towering storm-swept castles; the player wages war with
an army of specialized goblin warriors and fearsome monsters to prevent the
ultimate destruction of Ogriss.
"The Goblin
Commander IP will mark a revolutionary step forward in console gaming,” said
Jaleco Entertainment President Richard Wnuk. “Before each mission, players are
able to choose a unique clan type, each with their own combat specialties. This
adds a whole new dimension to the strategy gameplay experience, providing a
compelling new challenge to each mission – all with excellent replayability. We
are confident that fans will find Goblin Commander to be the best
action-strategy game on consoles to date.”
Goblin
Commander: Unleash The Horde sets
itself apart from other Real-Time Strategy games with fast arcade-style action,
richly detailed and destructible environments, and an easy-to-master control
scheme designed specifically for console game pads. The project is spearheaded
by strategy game developers Ron Millar and Chris Millar, who are known for their
work on best-selling titles within the StarCraft®, Warcraft® and Diablo® series.
“We’re
thrilled to be bringing one of today’s hottest genres to console gamers around
the world,” said Chris Millar, producer. “Goblin Commander offers plenty of fun
fighting and destruction yet has enough thought provoking strategic and tactical
elements to keep even the most hardcore RTS fan challenged and satisfied. It’s a
perfect blend of brains and brawn."
Jaleco
Entertainment plans full-force marketing support of Goblin Commander:
Unleash The Horde, including an official website, multi-media
advertising and retail promotions.
