Shadowbane Celebrates Two Year Anniversary!

SHADOWBANE® CELEBRATES TWO-YEAR
ANNIVERSARY

MMORPG Boasts Most Compelling PvP
Gameplay

SAN FRANCISCO – March 25, 2005 –
Ubisoft, one of the world’s top game publishers, celebrates the two-year
anniversary of Shadowbane®, the critically acclaimed massively multiplayer
online (MMO) game by providing all players with a unique piece of in-game
apparel featuring stats that will directly affect gameplay. Shadowbane: Throne
of Oblivion™, which includes the original game plus both expansion packs is
currently available at a manufacturer’s retail price of $19.99. It is rated "T"
(Teen) for Blood and Violence.

"We are proud and excited about
Shadowbane’s two-year anniversary," said Frank Lucero, Shadowbane’s producer.
"We’ve come a long way since launch, releasing four content patches, two
expansions and vastly improved service performance. Also, we have struck a chord
with hardcore MMO players, earning us a reputation for the most intense and raw
PvP gameplay on the market. We’d like to thank our loyal players and fans who’ve
supported us through the years and literally helped shape Shadowbane into the
game it is today."

Over the course of its two years of
existence, Shadowbane has taken risks in the MMO marketplace in regard to
gameplay mechanics, siege warfare, PvP management and its Dynamic World Model,
where every player can, and does, impact Shadowbane’s landscape, history and
experience.

"The Shadowbane community is as
strong as ever," shared Ashen Temper, Shadowbane’s lead community manager.
"Players are continuing to forge new ground and storylines, which is exciting to
see in an MMO title that has been around this long. Shadowbane players are a
unique and dedicated group of gamers who really give the game its personality
and context, and as a developer and fan of MMO games, we couldn’t be happier."

Set in a dark fantasy world burning
with strife and unrest, Shadowbane takes the MMO genre to new heights of
possibility by offering gamers an unparalleled challenge combining immersive
role-playing with deep strategic elements such as city management, army
creation, siege warfare and economic development.
